All in all around 50 students came to participate in a one week program here in Scotland. All of them participated in the meeting that was held at the BRE innovation park at Ravenscraig, which was attended by the BRE representatives, including Scottish Director Rufus Logan, Glasgow Caledonian University staff including Prof Bruce Woods and French University representative - Valérie Moreau along with some peoplefrom the eco construction industry.

On this meeting they had seen a presentation about AppleGreen Homes, new construction industry, eco-building and much more. They were given a tour around the park and the AppleGreen House, which is at the park. They were asked to work on a new scaffolding project thanks to which we would be able to reduce the carbon footprint, the price of production as well as the time of its assembling and disassembling comparing to the conventional scaffolding. They worked on the project here for a week, under the keen eye of Prof Philips Gerson and will continue to work on the winning concepts in the future.

Alan Wallace – AppleGreen Homes CEO, introduced and explained the GADGET program, which he is part of, the feedback from the students was very interesting from their home countries, in particular the French students, talked about their own experience of universities and industry working together. They work one month full time in University followed by one month full time in employment in a related industry, which sets them streets ahead of other countries, which for a global employment market is very important.

GADGET is now on permanent display at AppleGreen House on the park.
