The benefit of these scholarships for eight months, which are the first the first phase of ambitious project that promotes sustainable industrial building construction.
Among the agencies participating in its development are the info, the Public Land and Business Equipment in the Region of Murcia (Seremur), the Regional Agency for Energy Management Murcia (Argema), Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT ) and technology centers of the Energy and Environment and Construction
The project aims to create buildings and industrial infrastructures 'green' energy self-sufficient "with clear environmental and business interests both by opening new business opportunities for industry and construction", said Juan Jose Beltran Director of Development Institute (Info).
The second phase of the project will address the development of technical project through a competition for designing a sustainable industrial building in order to eventually develop and build pilot craft land at its disposal in the industrial Seremur industrial 'What Bolarín' of La Union.
