Good morning all,

The College of Science has sent a delegation of directors and others to India, for the period 9-21 April, to develop student exchange and recruitment opportunities and Steve Eggins has gone as part of the delegation to investigate possible opportunities for RSES. He will return in time for our next retreat, scheduled for 23 April 2018.

I will be Acting Director for the next two weeks while he is gone.

Best wishes

Paul Tregoning
