An extra year for 3ME Initiative

All members of Keele’s 3ME Initiative had cause to celebrate this week, because the three-year collaborative “Bridging the Gaps” project been awarded an extension with a further £50,000 committed from the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to continue the programme until summer 2012 with the aim of strengthening the programme and potentially expanding the bridge across to other Institutes on campus.

At the latest 3ME Initiative Research Retreat, held on Monday at Wychwood Park golf centre near Crewe, presentations by Professor Pauline Ong (Institute for Primary Care)  on translation to clinical practice and Professor Andrew Dobson (Institute for Law, Politics and Justice) on his Interdisciplinary ERSC programme commenced the efforts to explore links to other disciplines on campus.

In addition, the pilot research projects, a product of our previous “sandpits”, presented posters on their progress so far. The standard was very high, and two winners were declared by the judges, and in the photograph ISTM student Miss Angeliki Fouriki and ISTM Senior Lecturer Dr Ying Yang are seen with their posters, holding the certificates they received on behalf of their co-authors. Each winning poster received a prize of £250, contributed to the event by ISTM.
