Dr. Amer Ali said: “The Partnership between London South Bank University (LSBU) and the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) is a culmination of the extensive and deep collaboration between the two institutions which I started when I joined LSBU in 2011. It is important for promoting the professional development of staff and students and to equip our students with the highest achievable knowledge and skills. To give an example of the level of collaboration, I was honoured to invite and welcome three presidents of the IHE (Mr. Steve Spender, Mr. Richard Hayes, and Mr. Martin Polland) to visit LSBU and talk to our transport and civil engineering students on a number of occasions. I am the Vice Chair of the IHE Greater London Branch which I re-launched with a colleague from the industry, Mr. Luke Meechan, the current chair”.

This LSBU-IHE academic-professional partnership agreement is one of four similar partnerships that Dr Ali developed and signed with the Institution of Civil Engineers
