A delegation of five Warwick researchers from the Department of Chemistry visited China’s Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in November to explore joint projects in areas ranging from the development of anti-cancer drugs to opportunities to harness energy from agricultural waste products.

On 1 December, Professor Chris Hughes (PVC Education) welcomed a delegation from Republic of the Union of Myanmar (also known as Burma) to campus. The delegation was led by the Union Minister of Education, Professor Myo Thein Gyi, and included key figures from the Myanmar Ministry of Education. The two-day visit was organised by the Office for Global Engagement in partnership with the British Council (http://www.britishcouncil.org.mm/programmes/education/reform), and was part of a wider study tour to the UK to develop the Myanmar government and sector’s awareness of international practice in order to inform domestic policy reform.
