News News 28Feb24: Discussion with D. Newbold (Exec. Dir. Nat. Lab.), J. Clarke (Dir. ASTeC), M. Noro (Bus. Dev. Dir.) Open discussion of way forward, endorsed: Bridging strategy Engagement with MRC Initiatives to engage variety of peer groups 01Mar24: ITRF Project Board: Recognition of progress and continued support Endorsement of strategy for bridging funds/bridging period Support for contact with MRC to co-champion 06Mar24: LhARA EB: Co-opted H. Owen and A. Goulden: There is only one ITRF/LhARA part of joining it all up This meeting J. Clarke attended, M. Noro invited but couldn t come: Endorsed bridging strategy already presented to Fortnightly Engaged with current options analysis presented by C. Whyte Agreed that pressure on programme was too strong in 1M/yr for 2 years scenario Agreed strategy: Seek resources for bridging period ; 1M/yr for 3 years: Compromise! Strings things out, but, at least ambition to include studentships in the programme is more natural
