Dorian Fuller's world-leading research on the development of agriculture is being presented this week at a public event in China.

On 6th June, students from the Department’s MSc in European Public Policy went on their annual study trip to Brussels to visit the European Parliament, to meet practitioners from the European Commission, the External Action Service and a business organisation, and to gain first hand insights into the institutions, decision-making and policy-challenges studied during their programme. The first stop was the European Parliament, where the students discussed legislative politics and the EP’s role in international trade negotiations with George Stylianou from the EP's Visitors' Service and with Felix Lutz from the International Trade Committee. The afternoon was spent at the European Commission’s “Info Point” at Rond Point Schuman. There, the group was joined by three guest speakers: Eric von Breska, DG Regio, discussed the EU’s budget and Multiannual Financial Framework; Anja Fiedler, European External Action Service, explained how the EU’s diplomatic service was set up and functioned in international crisis management; and Jesse Scott, Eurelectic, introduced the students to the ins and outs of EU lobbying. In the evening, the students met up with EPP alumni for drinks on a sunny Place Luxembourg and to talk about careers and life in Brussels.

Symposium, 7-8th November 2013, London

Exciting developments in the life sciences and their application in biotechnology are helping to provide pioneering cures and therapies for inherited and degenerative diseases. Consider genomics and genetic based therapies, neuroscience and neuropharmacology, ICT implants and prosthetics, nanomedicine and the required socio-cultural accommodations to ageing and you will see how the way in which we perceive ourselves and those around us is slowly being recast.  As our knowledge and its application continues to grow and expand, the range, scope and magnitude of what we are able to achieve seems to be limitless.
