Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

I hope you had a pleasant weekend. 

All the best to those honours students presenting mid-year talks this week.

The PDR process is under review and staff are invited to attend a design workshop on Thursday 13 June 1-3pm, Room A105, Brian Anderson Building 115.  If you are interested in attending please let Sue know as there is a limit of two per School. Please email ea.rspe@anu.edu.au your interest.

This week’s pic comes from Professor Ken Baldwin. While holidaying in Morocco he visited the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Facility. The image shows the solar thermal tower with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the background.

Have a great, short week.

Tim.
