Today we launched the Centre for Public Policy and Administration, a new research centre that will unite policymakers with our world-leading experts, combining their expertise to create lasting change locally, nationally and globally. The centre is going to strengthen relationships between policymakers and our academics, building on the significant impact we already have on global policy. We’ll now be working together in a much more structured way, meaning that we will be better equipped to develop solutions to the policy issues that matter most to people in our society. The launch event was attended by key political figures, policymakers, academics and business leaders. “The establishment of the new Centre for Public Policy and Administration is an exciting development with real potential to bring about an important step change for policy-making here in Northern Ireland. “The centre’s establishment will open new opportunities to develop stronger links between policy makers and academics. I wish the centre every success and I look forward to the collaborations in which many of us will be involved in over the coming years.” (Dr Jayne Brady, Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service) Find out more: https://ow.ly/sKGC50TTgKk #PublicPolicy #Research #Policymaking #Academia #Policy #NorthernIreland

COSMIC BREAKTHROUGH! 🔭 A massive black hole has torn apart one star and is now using that stellar wreckage to pummel another star or smaller black hole. Our astrophysicists made the startling discovery using NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other state-of-the-art telescopes. This new evidence helps solve a mystery which had perplexed astronomers for years. Discover more: ow.ly/G7BX50TIGu9

We were thrilled to recently host representatives from the EPSRC’s Mathematical Sciences research theme for an engaging 2-day visit! This initiative, led by Dr. Lisa McFetridge, brought the Mathematical Sciences Strategic Advisory Team (SAT) meeting to Belfast, and gave Queen's researchers the chance to engage face-to-face with both SAT members and the EPSRC team.   On the first day, Queen's researchers had the opportunity to network with SAT members, sharing valuable insights and strategic developments. The following day, over 50 of our dedicated staff attended informative sessions led by Sarah Harman and her team, exploring the latest opportunities and funding available through EPSRC.   This visit was a fantastic opportunity for Queen’s to showcase our cutting-edge research in the Mathematical Sciences and for our staff to gain valuable knowledge about potential avenues for funding their innovative projects.   A huge thank you to Sarah and the rest of the EPSRC team for joining us.    #QueensUniversity #MathematicalSciences #EPSRC #ResearchInnovation #Collaboration #HigherEd Tom Gibson Queen's University Belfast
