Welcome to the November issue of our ebulletin, which highlights some of the achievements and developments that have taken place across the N8 Research Partnership over the past month.
This month it was confirmed that Prof. Chris Brink, Vice-Chancellor of Newcastle University will become the new Chair of N8 from February 2012. He will pay a key role in leading the N8 in fostering innovation across the UK and has ambitious plans for the future.
We have also been talking to the Department of Work and Pensions and the Local Enterprise Partnerships in the North about our demographic change research, which is making a great deal of progress.
It has been a very successful month for several of the N8 universities including the University of Sheffield, who won the Times Higher Education's 'University of the Year' award 2011, with 4 of the other N8 universities also picking up awards. It was also a good month for N8 supported QuantuMDx who won two healthcare awards for innovation and technology.
Finally, our Parasitology research theme is gaining momentum and we have launched a new Parasitology section to our website.
We hope you find this ebulletin interesting and informative, and welcome your feedback.
With warm regards,
Sarah Jackson
N8 Research Partnership
