Hola amigos! Sorry for the hiatus on here – we have been rather busy. Read on…
We have been off on our travels this August and September, and we have another two trips in Vietnam and Chile at the end of September and beginning of October. Our project LASIN based in Latin America will take place in October in Santiago, and a visit to Vietnam to network and then attend the ENHANCE Project meeting are happening in September to October.
Firstly, we met in Panama City for our LAURDS project meeting with partners to discuss project management and the progress of the project. It rained a lot but it was nice to see friends and colleagues again. See the pictures below:
Our meeting in Dublin was around Strategy For Change project with partners in Aveiro, Umea, Eindhoven, Dublin and Glasgow. We heard from interesting academics and practitioners in the area of social innovation and attended a workshop with Fighting Words a creative writing enterprise in Dublin, before sampling some live Irish music in the pub!

Next was our meeting in Kampala, Uganda for the Enrich Project International Conference and coordination meeting. Weather was warm and we had interesting talks from practitioners in the field of renewable and low carbon energy, as well as a Whistle Stop tour of Kampala before returning home:
We also hosted the eSTEM meeting where Egyptian partners visited our engineering labs during the week long capacity building meeting. See pictures below:
However we also still had colleagues around in the Office and we always welcome anyone who wants to pop by with questions and ideas or for a chat.
