The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction听is pleased to announce the signature of two Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with leading Brazilian universities, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), and the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE).听

These partnerships will unlock knowledge transfer initiatives听and joint projects听to deliver the听pipeline of infrastructure projects building upon international management practices and addressing the climate change agenda.听听
The partnerships are听coordinated by Dr Juliano Denicol and Dr Armando Castro.听
