Another great MA thesis that was finished in the context of our INNORES project. Kaye wrote about the regulatory complexities of microplastics on the EU level. A great presentation and debate and a proud supervisor! Congratulations!

The INNORES team was present with three members – Noah Münster, Livia Regen and Ulrike Felt – at the conference with two presentations; it was a great event with a lot of interesting debates.

I had a wonderful time invited by Pierre Delvenne @ SPIRAL, University of Liège. It was a privilege to speak in the context of the exhibition “Picturing the invisible” curated by Mak Takahashi – “AU-DELÀ DU VISIBLE : L’art à percevoir une catastrophe nucléaire autrement“. On the next day I had a great morning discussing methodological and theoretical aspects of the INNORES proejct with the SPIRAL group – “THE LINGERING TRACES OF INNOVATION: Exploring residual journeys through society“. And I had lot of thinking time with Céline Parotte and Pierre.

Three days of wonderful discussions covering many aspects relevant to our INNORES project.

It was a pleasure to see our first piece of research in the INNORES project to come to a perfect end. Great MA thesis on the roles of datastewards and a really excellent performance at the defensio. The supervisor was and is really proud!

We are back from a great week at the EASST/4S Conference “Making and Doing Transformations” in Amsterdam. It was a great event, smoothly organised, very inclusive, offering lots of opportunities to connect and really stimulating – and all this with more than 3000 participants. The organisers did a really great job. We presented no less than 5 papers on diverse aspects of our project.

Now enjoying some summer holidays …. and then writing things up.

Three days of intensive presentations and discussions on the European policy dimensions with regard to innovation residues with Nicole Dewandre who has been working in the European Commission for 40 years. It was a great experience to discuss some aspects of our policy analysis.

Two days of intensive presentations and discussion on the different research sites across the three residues and the different national contexts.
