Dear Colleagues,

On the lead up to Christmas I wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your support of ATLAS and acknowledge the high quality research conducted across our project portfolio throughout the year.  We are now midterm and the Centre’s research outputs are delivering numerous high quality journal publications, valuable intellectual property and opening up significant new business opportunities.  Many of our students have begun their industry placements and whilst gaining valuable commercial experiences themselves are also contributing back to our partners with fresh ideas and perspectives.

It would be remiss of me not to call out and thank Richard Taube and Cara Jordan for their significant contribution to the leadership of Centre this year.

Without doubt, 2020 will be filled with more memorable events and exciting project outcomes.   Before we begin that journey,  I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas holiday break with family and friends.

Merry Christmas !

Stuart
