The iRI hosts a research seminar for invited speakers, departmental staff and research students every two months. This provides an opportunity to find out more about the current research being undertaken in the institute, to develop individual research goals, to share ideas and to contribute to the continuing professional development of the iRI. The Seminars are an informal forum for the presentation and discussion of work in progress by staff, students and visitors.
Dr Yong Sheng, iRI Deputy Director - Multi Scale Modeling and Engineering Applications.

The EU funded MEGAPROJECT COST Action will hold its first annual workshop at the University of Leeds in September this year. It will bring together Action participants from across Europe to create a library of megaproject casestudies in the transport, energy and cultural event sectors. COST Actions are special research networks funded by the EU's ESF to promote cross-country collaboration and research development. For more information see MEGAPROJECT COST or contact the Action Chair, Professor Naomi Brookes.
