Confirming that Heriot-Watt is one of four organisations supporting the official UK pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, Gillian Murray, deputy principal (Enterprise and Business) at Heriot-Watt University, said: “Leading academics from Heriot-Watt will be showcasing the university’s expertise on the world stage at this significant gathering of 190 countries, contributing to and driving forward solutions to some of the world’s most significant challenges.
Sectors of focus will include sustainability, robotics and artificial intelligence, energy, health, and education (including skills and learning).”
