Plans for research collaborations, writing projects, international visits, and a joint PhD were hatched when colleagues from CHEF/DPU and our ‘sister centre’, REDI from Deakin University met on the side of the ECER conference at Hamburg on 5 sept 2019.  

New contacts were made and old ones renewed amid serious talk, much enjoyment, good wine and plentiful snacks. Thanks to Ursula Lorentzen, Deakin’s international officer for organizing the event  - this collaboration is proving very exciting and productive.
