Business/Industry Collaboration of the Year

Newcastle University has won Business/Industry Collaboration of the Year at the Educate North awards for its innovative partnership with Northumbrian Water.

The Biological Engineering: Wastewater Innovation at Scale (BE:WISe) research facility also known as NUFEB's pilot plant is the latest development in this long running collaboration.

NUFEB's Dr Russell Davenport, from the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, said: “It is great that the University’s unique relationship with Northumbrian Water has received this recognition.

“The BEWISe facility is the most tangible and visible face of our truly collaborative partnership, which has been the culmination of continued engagement for a number of years on various projects.

The great thing about this project is that not only have Northumbrian Water provided the space and infrastructure for the facility, but we also enjoy the support, time and trust of Northumbrian Water staff – from the CEO through to operational staff.”‌
