Greenwich Uni and Cutty Sark Win Award

The London Knowledge Transfer Awards 2008 were held on Friday, and there was good news for Greenwich. A collaboration between the University of Greenwich & Knowledge East working with the Cutty Sark Trust was the winner of the Knowledge Base Collaboration Award, as well as winning the overall “champion” award, the Knowledge Transfer Collaboration of 2008.

The pioneering partnership saw experts from the University of Greenwich use sophisticated computer models to work out the best way in which to dismantle and reassemble the ageing tea clipper as part of its major refurbishment.

The Knowledge Transfer Awards are supported by the London Developement Agency and are intended to recognise London’s Innovation in the business arena.
