COLLABORATION BETWEEN UNIVERSITY OF WORCESTER & WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE MA

February 2019

A group of students from Worcester, Massachusetts recently spent time at the University of Worcester as part of a cross-Atlantic partnership to improve sustainability.

Sixteen students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) visited the University of Worcester as part of a scheme which has been running for several years.

They took part in four sustainability projects, including the Unlocking the Severn project, a river restoration scheme, run by the Severn Rivers Trust, which aims to re-open the River Severn and its major tributaries for all species of fish.

The concept of collaboration between the two universities was first suggested by Lord Faulkner of Worcester in 2010 and students have been coming from WPI twice yearly over the past five years.
