Knowledge transfer partnerships, environmental management systems and masters level teachin

Abstract

Abstract I have been working as a supervisor on two Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) with local companies that have led to the implementation of the Environmental Management System (EMS) ISO14001 standard. With the help of the second company I have developed an EMS case study which was delivered for the first time to students on our MSc Sustainable Environmental Management at a workshop this year. Case studies like this bridge a gap where various issues, including Health & Safety, distance, cost and large group sizes, increasingly preclude student visits to industrial sites.
