Welcome to the latest news from the N8 Research Partnership.
This will be my first (and last!) newsletter as Interim Director of the N8, as Dr Peter Simpson will be taking up the role of Director on January 6, 2015. Dr Simpson will be joining the N8 following a highly successful 2014 for the partnership, which has seen major developments across our research areas.
For instance, our latest N8 Industry Innovation Forum, held in York, showed just how much interest, expertise and collaborative spirit there is in the field of food security, both across the N8 universities and within industry. The event was extremely popular and we look forward to seeing the results of the partnerships and projects which emerge from it.
Meanwhile, the new N8 Co-production Research Programme is already pushing the boundaries of social science research and a diverse range of academics and non-academics attended the programme’s workshop earlier this month – with more than 50 delegates in attendance: we highlight its success here.
I hope you enjoy reading our latest news. As ever, please get in touch if you have any feedback.
Have a great Christmas and all of our best wishes for the New Year
Nick Goldspink
Interim Director, N8 Research Partnership
