Dr Simon Lambert kicking off the first presentation for our first research event of the year - Sustainable Management of #Batteries From #EV. Overwhelming response to the workshop with participants from academia, industries, and policy makers. #WeAreNCL #CircularEconomy

Very apt (if old) sighting en route to a competition law conference #ASCOLA

Great ‘Enforcers Panel’, just before the evening jazz. Wonderful first day at #ASCOLA2024 hosted by Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg

It looks like there’s a different form of vertical farming in the old world/Europe from the concept I’ve become accustomed to in Singapore

It’s not everyday that the academic conference co-host turns pianist. Bravo Prof. Dr. Bien! #ASCOLA2024

Day 2 ended yesterday with an extraordinary treat - the first ASCOLA Concert! - follow by dinner and wine tasting in Staatlicher Hofkeller of the Residenz. It was spectacular. #ASCOLA2024

This week Universities UK released a report showing that higher education in the North East contributes £9.7 billion to the UK economy. That's a higher output per provider than any other region. 💪 universitiesuk.ac.uk/what-we-do/pol…

I’m missing it this year for the first time in years. What an occasion when the best of the North East is on show. Good luck to all the runners!
