Excited to Kick-off the #DiginTraCE project in Athens!Dr. @AmditisA Project Coordinator, R&D Director of @ISENSE_GROUP welcomed the partners & stressed that this innovative project will promote circularity & waste reduction through digitalization of circular value chains.
Extracting and concentrating nanoplastics in environmental samples for further quantification is difficult: we've adapted a system used for microplastics to this smaller particle size range. Check out more in our latest collaboration with the US EPA: https://t.co/LFyw1K909Z
After a decade in the UK & 8.5 years in Cambridge (@cisl_cambridge, @IGeographies, @vitalgeogs), I am moving to Barcelona to join a great team at @ICTA_UAB &lead a new research line on urban infrastructures in
@BCNUEJ as a Senior Ramon y Cajal Fellow. An exciting journey begins
@Pol_Geog_Jl @cisl_cambridge@ICTA_UAB@bcnuej “Silk Road, here we come” was the title of an article in The Kathmandu Post in April 2017 citing Nepal's Prime Minister statement after his meeting with the Chinese Defense Minister.
Our research on how Silk Road (#BRI) infrastructural myths & realities drive urban transformation in Nepal affecting not only urban futures but also people's histories & post-disaster memories is published in @Pol_Geog_Jl:

A new policy briefing from CISL researcher @EliaApos seeks to contribute to understanding the links between China’s Belt and Road Initiative #BRI, urban transformation and global development, and suggests recommendations to ensure fairness and resilience in these developments.
A different kind of publication on the New Silk Road this time aiming to reach policy makers, stakeholders, NGOs & communities across the globe that live & work in places where #BRI projects materialise. Available in English, Mandarin & Greek and soon in Spanish. @cisl_cambridge
Join us tomorrow morning for a discussion on the politics of infrastructure & Silk Road Urbanisation.

Although our cases reflect the existing complexity, relationships with local & national governments, market, capitalist & colonial interests are often much more perplexing. Our aim is not to offer a simplified, naïve picture of a more just future that will inevitably come. (2/3)
All the cases we explore offer clear indications of the potential that exists across diverse places, contexts, struggles and movements. We are nonetheless aware that this is not the entire picture of grassroots activism or grassroots innovations. (1/3)
After many years of empirical research & writing our paper on radical grassroots innovations is published in the @journalofpolit1. Drawing on 12 cases from across the South & North, we aim to find pathways for tackling inequality & reinventing the commons:
