SUMMARY:James Attwood Memorial Lecture\, 13 November 2024: What is the 'Highland Problem' of 2024?
DESCRIPTION:6.45 pm for Teas/Coffee. Main event 7.10 pm \nSixty years ago the Highlander was the ‘man on Scotland’s conscience’. Then the solution to the Highland Problem was to induce the movement of labour out of\, and not the movement of capital into\, the region. Today\, there is forecast £110 bn of investment over the next thirty years\, the Highland Problem looks somewhat different. \nToday’s communities struggle to recruit and retain key workers and services. Long established sectors restrict growth because they can’t recruit. The renewables sector\, critical to Scotland’s future economic fortunes\, could bring thousands of highly skilled long-term jobs and workers to the Highlands and Islands. But\, has nowhere to house them. \nIf we want our communities to benefit from this massive transformation\, we must ensure new people come\, and these new people bring their families and stay. So how do we make sure we build the right houses\, in the right places\, in the right timescales? \nThe Speaker \nAilsa Raeburn is Chair Community Land Scotland\, the national organisation that speaks on behalf of and advocates for community landownership and land reform. She also sits on the Boards of Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Crown Estate Scotland. \nAilsa is passionate about supporting communities to become more resilient and sustainable through the ownership of local land\, buildings and natural resources. This includes access to affordable and accessible housing for families and working age people which in many parts of the Highlands and Islands is severely constraining economic and community growth.

SUMMARY:CIOB Legal Seminar with Ledingham Chalmers
DESCRIPTION:Hot topics in Construction Law hosted by Ledingham Chalmers – Your legal issues answered! \n\n\nLedingham Chalmers will be your hosts at this CIOB Highlands & Islands Legal Workshop running on Thursday 8 June 2023. \nWe promise this won’t be a dry session focused solely on legal theory. Instead\, the team\, including construction lawyers Sarah Stuart and Jennifer Young\, will use real-life\, “hot topic” examples to show where these legal principles fit in\, in practice: offering straightforward\, sensible advice for those working in the sector. \nThey’ll draw on the expertise of Inverness-based colleagues specialising in health and safety\, property\, and employment law to work through examples including — \n\nproject delays and interruptions (what happens when there’s an interdict?)\nwhich contract mechanisms help — and which don’t — and how best to use them when it comes to delays and payment\nwhat does the Building Safety Act 2022 mean in Scotland?\nwhat about the changes to the law of prescription — when do claims become time-barred?\nare collateral warranties construction contracts? — and why does that matter anyway?\n\nIf you sign up by 1 May\, you’ll have the chance to pose any legal issues that are on your mind ahead of time\, and we’ll try to incorporate the answers (anonymously) into the session. \nYou’ll also be able to quiz our panel of experts on the day. \nMembers gain 3 CIOB CPD points if you reflect on your learning from this activity. \n\n\n\n\nContact\nLynne Peacock \nMember Services and Events Coordinator – North and Highland & Islands \nlpeacock@ciob.org.uk

SUMMARY:(I StrE)  COP26 Fringe Event Sustainability in the  Built Environment:  Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Structural engineers are the professionals charged with the efficient use of materials such as concrete\, steel and timber\, and since 2019 the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) has been working to put sustainability on a par with its enduring commitment to safety. \nThe IStructE Scottish Regional Group invite you to an open panel discussion on sustainability in the built environment\, ongoing activities across the industry\, and the impact of this year’s COP26 conference. We have assembled a renowned panel of speakers – each a leading figure in their field. \nThis wide-ranging discussion will address topical sustainability questions such as:\n• How will the construction industry change in the next few years?\n• What is happening across the materials production industries?\n• How do we encourage more re-use of existing buildings and infrastructure?\n• What can a built environment professional do differently at work tomorrow? \nQuestions will also be taken from the audience throughout the evening. The event will take place in Glasgow during the COP26 conference. We would love to see you in person\, but you can also join online if you can’t attend in person. This is a great opportunity to be part of the discussion on sustainability – why not join us? \nOnline and in-person event – find out more – Sustainability in structural engineering: Panel discussion – The Institution of Structural Engineers (istructe.org)
