Prof Aono, director-general of MANA, organised an excellent half-day symposium, with speakers from the NSQI and MANA. After such a good start we look forward to active exchange of researchers between Bristol and Tsukuba!

Charl is currently on a short trip to Korea and Japan with Professors Mervyn Miles and Huaxin Peng, colleagues from the Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information (NSQI). He is currently in Gwangju, where he will be giving a talk at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), hosted by Prof Ji-Woong Park.

Dr Peter Walters, from the Centre for Fine Print Research at UWE, came to visit the FRG on Monday, and give a fascinating lecture on 3D printing.
Very interesting, lots of discussion, and a good way to stimulate new collaborative research projects. We look forward to lots of future contact!
Albert Schenning, from Eindhoven, visited the FRG on Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd of October. A mini-symposium was held in conjunction with his excellent lecture, with Ben Brown from the FRG talking about his latest results.
Great to have Albert in Bristol, and we look forward to more contact in the future!
Saravanan contributed to the recent mini-symposium (Wednesday, 26th of September) held in conjunction with the visit of Dwight Seferos from Toronto, Canada. Very nice talks during the afternoon’s symposium!
Excellent symposium organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. Great opportunity to meet several leading Indian and UK Professors and Colleagues.
Today was the last day of a very exciting conference in Xiamen. Great speakers (except for one of them on Saturday morning!), really nice venue (nothing like an early morning jog and swim in the sea!) and a good opportunity to meet up with old friends and colleagues!

Charl arrived in hot and humid Xiamen last night. The ISACS symposium is held on the University of Xiamen‘s campus, at the Arts and Science Centre. See the photo from his on-campus hotel room of the conference venue!
The symposium starts this evening, with Charl being fortunate enough to speak early on the first full day tomorrow.
Charl was invited by Prof Wenping Hu, expert in OFETS and organic electronics, to give a talk today at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing.
It was Charl’s first (hopefully of many) and very enjoyable visit to the Institute. Very impressive place, and many excellent researchers!
Charl is currently in China, and gave a talk this morning at the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing (hosted Prof Xi Zhang, head of department).
Here he is trying his best to prepare for a difficult question! Very nice periodic table behind him!
He is spending the rest of the day in discussion with Prof Zhang and Assoc. Prof. Huaping Xu (who visited Bristol recently).
He will be visiting the Chinese Academy’s Institute of Chemistry tomorrow (visiting prof. Wenping Hu), and then off to Xiamen for the RSC conference “Challenges in Nanoscience, ISACS 9”, where he is speaking on Saturday morning.
