We are pleased to announce that the USPPIP project has been extended until 30th September 2019. The extension will enable the USPPIP to focus on impact activities, and for Dr Sejad Mekic to continue in his work as USPPIP fellow in Exeter. USPPIP activities will continue into 2019, and the team thank HERA for the extension. In addition, Dr Nijmi Edres, former USPPIP fellow in Goettingen, will be participating in USPPIP activities at the University of Exeter through a visiting fellowship, March-May 2019.
