Re-launch of Expertsouthwest.com

The re-launch of the regional portal, expertsouthwest.com has been announced by the regional higher education association for the South West (HERDA SW). The portal is designed to encourage collaborative work practices between the region’s businesses and universities. Many of the universities in the South West offer an extensive range of services and facilities for businesses, from training opportunities and graduate placements to state of the art centres of expertise. The projects that evolve from these services range across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Expertsouthwest.com has been redesigned to enable a more user friendly focus and allow greater transparency of the benefits that the region’s universities can offer to local businesses through its partnership schemes. In addition to this, a newsletter is also available that offers regular updates and a ’’success story library” which provides examples of best practice by showcasing successful projects.
