Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the Construction Industry Club (CIC) Start Online project, its context, aims, objectives, partnership, management, outputs, dissemination methods, membership, legacy and beneficiaries. As the project enabled successful collaboration of seven Scottish universities with industry in developing and testing innovations for sustainable building design and refurbishment, attracting 2,385 members (at the time of writing as new members are joining after the end of the project in February 2013 to be able to access all the project outputs), this chapter explains how this was achieved. Various online communication tools were used, not only for dissemination of the project outputs but also for direct engagement with membership nationally and internationally, management of various project activities, co-ordination of the assessment of applications submitted for funding through CIC Start Online and communication with the project partners. This aspect of the project management and delivery was crucial for efficient inter-institutional collaboration, dissemination and creation of the searchable online Knowledge Base which enables easy access to all the project outputs.

Funding

The aim of the CIC Start Online project was and remains (through online access to the project outputs) to embed innovations for sustainable building design and refurbishment into practice. The project objective was to support collaboration between academia and Scottish small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) in developing and testing innovations for sustainable building design and refurbishment. The project was led by Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) in collaboration with Edinburgh Napier University (ENU), Glasgow School of Art (GSA), Heriot-Watt University (HWU), the Robert Gordon University (RGU), University of Edinburgh (UoE) and the University of Strathclyde Glasgow (USG). The project was funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Scottish Government from 1st September 2009 until 28th February 2013. Scottish Enterprise provided funding for academic consultancies.
