The opportunity Scale of campus and proposed development Quantity and quality of sustainability expertise Number of students on sustainability and low carbon related courses Growing importance of applied research to staff and students Established collaborative projects and programmes to build on

The Project Origins Goals - Collate existing and potential research and teaching activities for the UoM campus - Collate current and planned Estates activities (new build, retrofit and management) and relevant data - Establish venues for constructive collaboration between researchers and Estates - Apply for long-term funding from the public and private sectors - Produce a roadmap for future UoM living lab activities
