Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
Many thanks to Prof Rob Elliman for holding the fort last week. I hope all those Grand Challenge discussions are progressing well, remembering that video submission are due on Monday. EA update: Sue Wigley will be joining us on 14th August. Good luck to those starting up second semester teaching, and for those who would like to assist with tutes and labs please speak with Prof Joe Hope.
I hope to have some news about our Capital Works proposal very soon.
This week’s pic comes from A/Prof Matthew Hole’s recent trip to ITER in Cadarache, France and the largest research and development centre for fusion energy in Europe.
Have a good weekend, and don’t forget to update your student projects for Market Day.
Regards,
Tim |
