Environment and Sustainability Institute
The project delivered by the University of Exeter (UoE) will lead to the creation of an Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) - envisaged as a world class centre of research excellence in the environment and sustainability fields. A core principle underpinning the proposal is that the commercialisation of the outputs from this research will enable the ESI to help grow the economy of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by creating jobs, businesses and Gross Value Added (GVA).
The key activities proposed through the ESI project revolve around knowledge transfer and the commercialisation of intellectual property, seeking the further development of the priority environmental technologies sector within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
The approach advocated under this project is, through the development of a high quality facility, to develop a world leading research centre focusing on areas of economic opportunity.
