CIC Start Online is one of the routes to Impact for this research area. It is a joint project of seven Scottish universities; Glasgow Caledonian University; Edinburgh Napier University, Glasgow School of Art, Heriot Watt University, The Robert Gordon University, University of Edinburgh and University of Strathclyde Glasgow. The project supports collaboration between academia and Scottish small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) in developing, testing and disseminating innovations for sustainable building design and refurbishment. This collaboration is undertaken through joint academic/industry feasibility studies and academic consultancy. Dissemination of the outcomes is provided through seminars, interactive webinars, video recordings, quarterly online magazine and website. The project is funded by European Regional Development Fund (Lowlands and Uplands Scotland 2007-2013 programme) and SEEKIT programme of Scottish Government.
