Peterborough Eco-Innovation Centre: CleanTech and Environment Innovation Workshops

Peterborough Eco-Innovation Centre (EIC) is keen to bring out latent inventiveness in the Greater Peterborough area.  We’re inviting groups of two or more people with ideas on how resources can be used more sustainably to use our facilities for Innovation Workshops which will create exploitable intellectual property for the group.

Regardless of how developed your ideas are, this is the chance to develop them further. We are particularly keen to encourage technology innovation, but would also welcome groups with ideas on improved design, services and policy.

A meeting room at the EIC in central Peterborough can be booked free of charge for this purpose.  It is equipped with an interactive Smart Board™ which enables touch screen control of a computer, so that handwriting and hand graphics can be manipulated and stored electronically, and professional drawing and design documents can be viewed, amended and stored.  There are also the usual white boards and flip charts.  Wifi and wired access internet access is available.   Coffee on tap will keep you going!

The Centre for Sustainable Engineering, which manages the EIC, has specialist skills in cleantech science and engineering, facilitation of ‘ideation’ workshops, protection of intellectual property, collaboration agreements for exploiting IP, and business planning.  CSEng may be interested in being part of a consortium, or otherwise offering these services for a reasonable fee.

If this attracts you, please contact Phil Sheppard on 01733 294524 or at p.sheppard@cseng.org.uk
