ABOUT
The team
The multi-disciplinary AIA team is led as a collaboration between the Whittle Laboratory and the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. It is not working as a typical academic research project, but instead combines industry, startup and academic strengths to work with not only rigour, but also speed, flexibility and an understanding of day-to-day realities.
