Dr Livia Lantini participates in Royal Academy of Engineering Frontiers Symposium
Intro
Dr Livia Lantini, Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the School of Computing and Engineering (SCE) at the University of West London, recently participated in the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) Frontiers Symposium held in Perth, Australia.
Article body
The Frontiers Programme connects and empowers enthusiastic researchers, innovators, and practitioners from the UK and around the world to work together on new ways to solve complex global challenges.
By stimulating collaboration and interdisciplinary thinking, it aims to catalyse creative solutions that deliver impact and build a lasting global community, equipped to achieve a sustainable and inclusive society.
The theme of the Symposium was ‘Empowering resilience: integrating innovation, sustainable communities and climate adaptation strategies.’ Dr Lantini is a member of UWL’s Faringdon Research Centre for Non-Destructive Testing and Remote Sensing, whose work plays a crucial role in addressing urban resilience challenges by developing advanced tools for infrastructure assessment and environmental sustainability. Her participation in the Symposium, fully sponsored by the RAEng, highlighted the Centre’s contributions to creating scalable solutions for climate-adapted cities.
Since launching in 2016, the Frontiers Programme has awarded grants that have financed more than 145 projects in 32 countries working on projects such as emergency shelter for refugees, climate change resilience and inspiring the younger generation with the circular economy and many more.
Dr Lantini commented,
I was honoured to be selected as a participant in this prestigious Symposium. It provided a unique opportunity to present my research with the Faringdon Research Centre, and to engage with international experts on projects that could significantly advance urban green infrastructure resilience.”
