SMART-SIP+' is a £2.6m project that will transform the lives of farmers in rural Bangladesh by advancing clean energy and sustainable agriculture led by a team of researchers from Birmingham City University in partnership with Bangladesh Agricultural University and NGOs Bright Green Energy Foundation and Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor.
Our applied research and case studies focus mainly on energy and water related issues, scoping long-term sustainable solutions in partnership with industry, businesses, citizens and experts. Applications include laboratory-based experiments to develop innovative solutions; developing interdisciplinary research knowledge; supporting knowledge exchange, education, community engagement; and providing advice for policy and decision-makers.
