Several students from Emirates University attended the second Annual Congress of the Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC), an independent forum aimed at conserving the environment by strengthening and promoting green building practices.
The event brought together industry stakeholders from across the construction supply chain who resolved to work together and take concerted efforts to promote sustainable built environments in the region.
Saeed Al Abbar, Acting Chairman of EmiratesGBC, said: “The participation of the students from Emirates University underline our focus to build relations with the student community, who are our future business leaders. We are committed to work with educational institutions and students to further strengthen awareness on green buildings, share best practices, and promote research & development on sustainable built environments.”
EmiratesGBC regularly hosts and participates in multinational events, conferences and forums. EmiratesGBC has also developed a suite of activities, inclusive of networking events, technical workshops, focus days and facilitated training based around specific issues related to the built-environment that meet the needs of its members, of the UAE community, and the wider Middle East.
