Academic Advisory Group
Made up of some of the UK’s most respected universities, the Academic Advisory Group (AAG) connects research with industry need. Together, we shape solutions that prepare the Built Environment Sector for the future.
Beyond a Talking Shop
Harnessing Academic Insight to Shape Industry Progress
At the Centre for Construction Best Practice, we believe that progress happens when research and practice come together. To ensure our work is rooted in evidence, innovation, and future-focused thinking, we have established the Academic Advisory Group. The Academic Advisory Group reflects CCBP’s belief in collaboration without boundaries. By uniting respected universities with industry leaders, we create a platform where ideas can move beyond talking shops and actually deliver real-world impact.
