New Southampton research hub

The alliance is to redefine the relationship between academia and business.

Drawing together the engineering excellence of both organisations in a new research hub in Southampton, the collaboration will focus on innovations in transport, energy and the environment. Academics and industry experts will combine forces throughout the entire process of identifying and researching challenges faced by businesses and communities worldwide to more effectively deliver solutions.

Hundreds of staff and students from the University and engineering and technical staff from Lloyd’s Register will work together at a new technology and education campus.

Work will commence in 2011 on the state-of-the-art University of Southampton Centre of Excellence, which has an initial investment of £116 million as indicated by the University. The campus will include the Lloyd’s Register Group Technology Centre, the cornerstone of the organisation’s global research and development network.
