The Stephenson Building - Who we Are
Mia Horton Electrification and automation of vehicles on land, at sea and in the air will transform public transport. It will dramatically reduce carbon emissions.
Our aim is to create a new school of thinking among engineers and scientists, capable of leading this transformation.
This new research hub will provide leadership in the aerospace, automotive, maritime and rail sectors. A key feature will be space where researchers and businesses are co-located.
Driving the Electric Revolution
The new hub will have close ties to the Driving the Electric Revolution Industrialisation Centres.
Under the banner of Driving the Electric Revolution Challenge, we secured a £30m government investment in collaborative research. The Stephenson Building will provide additional cutting-edge facilities for this field of work, attracting leading international researchers to Newcastle.
"The Driving the Electric Revolution Challenge, and the reduction in carbon it will help bring about, is a key focus for research at Newcastle University as we progress towards achieving the Government’s carbon neutral target by 2050."
