Loughborough University Partners With #btsia
Loughborough University in London, which will offer a cosmopolitan and vibrant destination for postgraduate programmes, research, enterprise and innovation from September 2015 on its new campus at the former Press and Broadcast Centres on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, will be the Official Education Partner of the BT Sport Industry Awards 2014.
The opening of the university’s London campus will see a new proliferation of research opportunities through expanded engagement with leading public and private sector companies, bringing direct benefits to society and the economy, both nationally and globally.
Mike Caine, Dean of Loughborough University and a Professor of Innovation & Sports Technology, commented: Loughborough University works in partnership with a wide variety of organisations across all industry sectors to maximise both the quality of our education and the commercial potential of our work. As we open Loughborough University in London on the site of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are delighted to work with the industry that delivered those Games and continues to put London at the heart of the global sport business.
Nick Keller, Chairman of the Sport Industry Group, added: Loughborough University is synonymous with sporting excellence, and the opening of Loughborough University in London will see that develop further and see the university play an even greater role in the British sporting, digital and business landscape. Loughborough University’s world-leading sport and exercise expertise will be an invaluable addition to the sport industry in this city and further afield.
Loughborough University in London is part of the iCITY development, a world-class centre of innovation and enterprise that will deliver a lasting legacy from London 2012 for local residents, local businesses and the UK.
