In addition, vocational training courses in renewable installations are to be implemented commercially by the Cambridge Regional College.Since the completion of the project, UK and Sweden bilateral activities had been supported at the highest political level. The Swedish Minister of Environment and the UK Minister Housing and Planning has discussed the continuing cooperation to deliver sustainable homes and clean technologies.
