AUE 50th Annual Conference - SEPTEMBER 2022
Summary
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the AUE Annual Conference being held at the University of Stirling.
What to expect
This conference is a milestone for the Association of University Engineers, not only because we haven't been able to have a conference since 2019 due to COVID-19, but also because we will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary!
The conference theme ‘Celebrating 50 Years: Engineering Tomorrow's Solutions Together’ considers the complexities engineers face today, integrating new and low carbon technologies into our existing estate including listed buildings or those of historical interest and the wider environmental impact. Modern and new buildings also tend to be highly serviced therefore how these operate and are maintained is critical.
There are many challenges faced by Universities today therefore, the role of the engineer has evolved and changed significantly to that of the past. There are increasing legislative burdens as part of maintaining a compliant estate, ensuring resilience in terms of our ability to respond to events out of our control (environmental), business continuity and meeting the changing needs and expectations of our customers. The conference is about celebrating technological advancement over the last 50 years whilst being forward looking and placing ourselves in the best position to respond to future changes, needs and demands from both internal and external sources.
We will be in touch soon to let you know when you can book, but for now, please save the date!
Currently in the planning stages, and will let you know more soon, however, if you are interested in either exhibiting or sponsoring please send a message to info@aue.ac.uk.
If you would like a quick reminder of how successful and thought-provoking the 2019 conference was, please have a look at the conference highlights video below.
We look forward to welcoming you to Stirling!
