🎬Scenes from #eoscwinterschool2024 and interventions from EOSC Future! 👏 More insights to come on emerging trading zones between researchers and #RSIs across domains using #EOSC...in Europe and beyond!
🤝 The EOSC Winter School 2024 occurred in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 29 January to 1 February. Our CEO, Christos Arvanitidis, attended the meeting as LifeWatch ERIC leads Work Package Number 6 (WP6) of the EOSC Future project.
🔎 The meeting aimed to establish a solid basis for encouraging innovation, accelerating scientific discoveries and empowering researchers in Europe and beyond.

... where #COEMinerals researcher, materials engineer Regina Medeiros is attending the 13th International Colloids Conference (#COLL2024).
We are delighted to share Regina's new research paper: "Selective aggregation of fine copper minerals using charged polyacrylamides", open access, in Elsevier Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects: https://lnkd.in/gjn_3ukB
Congratulations to all authors, including Dr Casey Thomas and Prof. George Franks
Research explainer:
#Copper minerals are essential for securing the future supply of renewable energy and cleaner technologies, with previous studies showing an increasing crescent copper demand of up to 350% by 2050.
The proposed flocculation approach has the potential of improving the collection of the fine copper particles normally lost in industrial separation processes, which can count for up to 20% of total copper in the ore. Additionally, it offers an alternative to #reprocessing existing mineral waste, reducing the need for additional extraction, and potentially saving water and energy use in mineral beneficiation (separation).
The research investigates how these polymers interact with the mineral surfaces, their adsorption mechanisms and flocculation capabilities, including in-situ measurement of the size and structure of the aggregates. The research shows important advances about what types of commercially inexpensive reagents can be used for flocculation, and how they can be applied to improve the recovery of valuable copper fine particles. This work should be of interest to readers in the areas of particle aggregation, polymer adsorption, in-situ particle image characterisation, and mineral processing.

Aquila team all set and registered for the Esomar Congress here at Athens, Greece! Excited to meet and learn from fellow market researchers around the world.

Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC)Spring Scientific was a great meeting. Here are some thoughts:
1- The next breakthroughs in IO will come from areas that have been under studied and had received not much commercial attention such as immunometabolism and microbiome. The science is maturing and these areas will have a broad impact on all things IO, cell therapy, cancer vaccines, bi-specifics, etc.
2- The possibility of re-programming terminally exhausted T-cell through metabolic interventions is quite intriguing. Remember these cells live and chang out in the tumor and they don't respond to checkpoint inhibitors. We just need to get them going and Greg Delgoffe is working on exciting interventions to get these cells going.
3- If you get dendritic cells in a tumor their right kind of food (glutamine) then they can jump start anti-tumor immunity.
3- Avoid artificial sweeteners. Bad for your T-cells.
4- Bacterial based therapies can turn cold tumors hot.
5- You can find oral bacterial genomic material in brain tumors and brain metastasis most likely got their by immune cells.
6- We need to understand tumor supporting and immune supporting diets.
7- We need more metabolism and microbiome intervention trials. You can learn more from treating one patient than many observational and mouse studies. Ultimately our goal is to treat humans not mice.
The 2024 Spring Scientific was a success!
A special thanks to our amazing organizers: Greg Delgoffe, PhD, Jennifer Guerriero, PhD, Jennifer Wargo, MD, MMSc and faculty, keynote speaker: Hongbo Chi, PhD, supporters, exhibitors and attendees from around the world!
See you in San Diego next year: March 12–14, 2025
Still one day left to register, do so now!
I will be pleased to chair the session on “Power, (im)mobility and accessibility: politicizing transport”.
We will focus on three topics:
- What are the main challenges of accessibility?
- How do questions of scale (national, regional, local) affect the interactions between accessibility, mobility, and regional/urban planning?
- In what ways do current planning and policy-making processes include the needs voiced by citizens?
Keen to be part of TOD-IS-RUR Network!
Where in the 🌍 is George Blood?
At the IASA 55th annual conference in Valencia, Spain
23-26 September 2024! See you there?
The International Association Of Sound and Audiovisual Archives conference's goal is to spotlight instances of cross-disciplinary interactions and collaborations in the spirit of fostering a culture of creativity, scientific innovation, and partnership, especially during times of crisis.
Until the end of 2025, YUFE will be piloting and implementing the YUFE DIOSI Model for Doctoral Learning. Want to learn more? Explore the YUFE Alliance Pilot! 👇
#UAntwerp#LetsShapeTheFuture
Today, YUFE officially started a new inspirational journey with doctoral researchers from across Europe who are joining the YUFE Pilot on "Doctoral Learning"! 💡
In this unique opportunity, young researchers will get the chance to test out the YUFE DIOSI Model on Doctoral Learning, which stands for a holistic and joint approach to doctoral learning across Europe.

In case you didn't hear, Science 😎 is Cool.
Join me at The Emerald Conference in April. This conference is not just for the science serious as the research and development affects US ALL! So whether science-centered or science-curious, we got you!
The 4th International Conference & Exhibition. Advanced Geospatial Science & Technology (TeanGeo 2024) will be held on 22-24 October in Tunis Tunisia.
Organized by The Regional Center for Remote Sensing of North African States (CRTEAN) which is a regional governmental organization based in Tunisia and aims to encourage and develop the institutions of its member states to use remote sensing and digital geospatial techniques in the fields of sustainable development, scientific research and other related fields, in addition to providing capacity building and helping to establish specialized institutions.

The show is on!🎉 After many months of preparing the HALRIC Conference we’re finally here in Hamburg - warming up with an Industry Workshop and later today kicking off the 2-day conference with a high level opening and panel session. I am really excited to see the program and presentations in action and to network with our growing HALRIC community. Together we build new cross-border collaborations for the benefit of life science innovation through the use of unique Research Infrastructures🚀

🆕 On March 7, trans4num EU consortium meet online for the first 2024 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐲.
ℹ The GA sessions were organised carefully to allow the partners to share updates from the work carried out and to plan for the year ahead.
💬 Main topics of discussion referred to (1) the scientific work carried out for the development of a decision support system (DSS) for optimum nutrient supply at farm, regional and watershed level (WP3), design and implementation of Hackathons, updates from the four EU NBS SITES (DK, HU, NL and UK), as well as trans4num transformation pathways and (2) to the organisational issues and the Europe – China cooperation.
ℹ The next GA will be hosted by our partners from Rothamsted Research
in June 2024 and we will be visiting the UK NBS sites.
👀 Until then, watch this space for project updates.
