Aberdeen is to be home to a new centre of research excellence in subsea technologies
Millions of pounds are to be invested in the joint venture involving the University of Aberdeen, the Robert Gordon University and Dundee University. The three universities are working together on the new project through the Northern Research Partnership, which aims to establish research of international standing in areas of engineering.
Professor Albert A Rodger, Vice Principal and Head of the College of Physical Sciences, said "Through the Northern Research Partnership the three Universities are pooling research strengths across strategically important areas of engineering. This has positioned us very well indeed to work in full partnership with Subsea UK to create a Centre of Research Excellence in Subsea Technologies".
