NEC IN ACADEMIA

As both the use of and academic interest in NEC grows, there is a need for academia and NEC to work together to ensure graduates are better informed of all that NEC offers. NEC has put together a package NEC in Academia which aims to provide a series of beneficial tools and support for lecturers and their students.

In terms of assistance for payment of this product, NEC is aware of the availability of grants to Universities from the Society of Construction Law which may be worth investigating. The link is http://www.scl.org.uk/grants.

RESEARCH

NEC encourages students to consider some aspect of NEC as the basis for their dissertation. On many occasions we have forwarded (online and hard copy) questionnaires to the NEC Users Group for their assistance and sought users for face-to-face or telephone interviews.

With appropriate copyright holders permission, it is intended to post NEC relevant dissertations on this website for the benefit of others.

Key reports referring to NEC contracts are listed elsewhere in this website.

COURSES AND EVENTS

It is intended to list here any NEC courses and events at Universities to better promote attendance from outside that institution, if that is acceptable to the host body.
