FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

AUGUEST/1W/ 2015

Middlesex University, London

Dear Colleagues,

How are your holidays? I hope all is well and plenty of you are chilling out now.

Hope that Calais and Immigrants weren’t a trouble for you last week and you reached the rest of Europe ;)

There is a story about immigrants Instagram account: http://bbc.in/1VXjzpJ and many more on the global political agenda. Even the term ‘illegal immigrants’ is ‘illegal’ apparently! Milos Zeman’s (Czech President) message for the immigrants turned the global world against refugees and also created activists movements in US.

For those of you who haven’t had a chance for holidays yet – couple of interesting things to read while you have a little time off from your usual activities.

Have you seen ‘Are our kids tough enough’? Chinese class’ (http://bbc.in/1IX4i4z ) Amazing experiment, which shows clash of cultural differences. It is pretty fascinating how the education style differs in both countries and that implementing and mixing both of them could be a good idea. What do you think?

I’ve got some stunning news for skateboarders; Lexus introduces his Hoverboard http://bit.ly/1T2XXnE - pretty unique technology mixed with innovative approach; for photo enthusiasts – Nokia Ozo is a new virtual reality camera ( http://bit.ly/1U6DFvP )

1

It is also loud regarding #WhatNotToSayToaWriter ( http://bit.ly/1M4P6kJ ), you might find it funny, definitely those of you who wrote a piece, for others- appreciate writers!

And with this positive thought we will finish today’s intro!

Oh- one more – we’ve got plenty of opportunities for you this week, as it is combined list from two weeks – I hope that some of them would be suitable for you. Please let me know if I can help you further!

Best wishes

Anna Klesse

Your Funding Specialist ;)
