What we’re up to

KI continues to support the NSF/NHI/HHMI Pulse project; the objective to change how biology is taught at the undergraduate level. We'll facilitate a 2nd workshop for the Vision and Change Leadership Fellows in June. You can read an update on what's been happening here, and you can join the Pulse community here.

We're helping Fintrac boost the innovation in its USAID-funded Partnering for Innovation program to improve farm productivity in developing countries. This week, we're running a 5-day AgInvestor Lab, a workshop looking at how to scale existing technologies to better serve smallholder farmers.

KI is working on a project with NASA, focusing on the community research roadmap for the next 10 years; a project called Ingenious, around the question of how to ensure a vibrant pipeline of maths graduates entering the workforce; and also for ArcticHub, to help stakeholders in the arctic observing community to be better informed, and to find new research collaborations.

We just led a workshop for the Arctic Observing Summit on how to create a co-ordinated view and advise policy makers about the needs of the arctic and the observing function.

KI is a sponsor at the ARMA in Nottingham on June 11-12 and on June 12 we'll deliver a workshop on How to create a great meeting from nothing? Click here for more information.
