Energy from Waste Seminar

11th November 2008

Austin Court, Birmingham, B1 2NP

This one-day seminar will explore a wide variety of issues relating to Energy from Waste and offer solutions to the engineering challenges faced. Experts in the field will present the latest thinking on energy recovery options and their viable application, imparting practical information through case studies of successful projects.

Energy from Waste is just as valuable a resource as material recycling and is urgently needed in terms of managing climate change. By 2020, 15% of all UK energy - for heat, electricity and transport - must be provided from renewable sources. Developing alternative fuels is pivotal to this commitment; converting Energy from Waste will be a major factor.

UVAC Annual Conference 2008

13th and 14th November 2008

Royal York Hotel, York

This year's conference will be focused on excellence in identifying and then delivering the higher level work-based learning employers and employees want and need in the context of future UK skills requirements. Drawing on national and international good practice, specific focus will be given to innovative and successful approaches to defining knowledge and skills needs, developing flexible learning programmes based on these needs, marketing to employers and employees, assessment and validation, funding (including employer co-funding), quality and widening participation.

As in previous years, a key theme of the conference will also be the role of further education colleges in higher education delivery. Therefore, in addition to workshops and plenary sessions for higher education delegates and partner organisations, a dedicated concurrent track is also being organised, focusing on strategic and practical work-based learning for Mixed Economy Further Education Colleges.

More information on our conference is available here.
