A new for Warwick research group in chemical reaction engineering is to start work within the programme of a large collaborative FP7 project - SYNFLOW.

Dr Toby Mottram (Principal Investigator), Jawed Qureshi (Research Fellow), and Navroop Mathura (PhD student) with Access Design and Engineering and the Bridge Division of Mott MacDonald Ltd. are now collaborating on a Composites in Construction project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/ViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/H042628/1).

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between Warwick University (Centre for Cognitive & Neural systems) and IBEC covering the field of Bioengineering. The collaboration follows the visit of Professor Gardner to IBEC earlier this year and it intended to (a) promote the exchange of information on bioengineering between research groups, (b) exchange researchers via short term fellowships, and (c) implement cooperative research programmes in, for example, EU Framework 7 programmes. There will be a joint Warwick-IBEC meeting in the autumn to bring together interested researchers and it is hoped that Warwick research will be presented at the 4th IBEC Symposium in Barcelona in the spring of 2011.
