NEURONE consortium meeting success!
The Materials and Manufacturing Research Institute (M2RI) at Swansea University recently funded a pivotal meeting of the NEURONE consortium, comprising partners from UKAEA, Swansea University, Imperial College London, the Materials Processing Institute, Sheffield Forgemasters and the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford, Manchester, and Sheffield.
NEURONE is a £10m endeavour, funded by the UK Fusion Futures programme, to develop an industrial scale advanced steel over the next 5-years for use in the commercial fusion sector.
Professor Nicholas Lavery and Dr Stephen Jones from MACH1, hosted the two-day event, and will be taking a key role in the design and prototyping of novel alloys.

CISM's first techniques workshop
At the start of the new year CISM ran its first techniques workshop available to members of CISM and SPECIFIC based on bay campus.
The course was run by Dr Kieran Richards and provided a basic introduction to programming in Python.
Four workshops were carried out across an eight-week span, initially focusing on the complete basics of programming in Python.
Attendees from a cohort of ~20 people progressed from basic syntax to functional programming and how to use the wealth of
python libraries available to streamline and automate everyday tasks.
Due to the limited run of these workshops, a key aim was to teach users how to source information and to teach themselves using online documentation and AI tools.
It is hoped that this is the first of many skill-based workshop series based out of CISM.

EEE students awarded UKESF Scholarships
Two students from the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering have been awarded the UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF) Scholarships – this is the first time Swansea University students have received such an award!
The scheme has been designed in collaboration with leading employers to provide financial support for undergraduates, and to develop the skills they need to thrive in Electronics.
Students Matthias Street and Osian Jones will be undertaking work placements with industry sponsors Renesas Electronics Europe and CSA Catapult respectively and will also benefit from an
annual bursary and additional support from the UKESF.
The Scholarship Scheme was awarded a prestigious Princess Royal Training Award in 2022.
