Write a case study or two

Case studies are a useful tool to describe how others across the sector are working on the concept of the intelligent campus. Though not always instantly transferable from one situation to another, they can be used to see what experiences, problems and issues others have faced and importantly how they overcame them.

We would like to invite you to write case studies, which may then be published here on the blog. In order to give you a starting point, we have created a template that asks a series of questions.

Overall the expected length of the case study would be 500-1500 words.

This template is designed to encourage you reflect on the projects or activities you have undertaken in the intelligent campus space and then to share the outcomes with other practitioners.
