Really inspiring session at the @ewbuk Designathon Finals today https://t.co/yaJ2GFDUOU Such a great range of ideas - new MOOCs to grassroot partnership schemes, carbon apps and use of play, judging was not an easy task! Massive congratulations to all involved #EngineeringChange

[Hayley Sharp @hayleysharp]

Fantastic that @UniofOxford and @AstraZeneca have committed to provide the vaccine on a "not-for-profit basis for the duration of the pandemic across the world, and in perpetuity to low- and middle-income countries” (& great it can use existing cold chains for easier roll-out)

[University of Oxford @UniofOxford]

Today marks an important milestone in the fight against #COVID19. Interim data show the #OxfordVaccine is 70.4% effective, & tests on two dose regimens show that it could be 90%, moving us one step closer to supplying it at low cost around the world>> https://t.co/fnHnKSqftT

Great to have @ewadesmith at the Sustainable Infrastructure Forum this morning #UKAfricaInfrastructure

A fantastic team - we will miss you!

[ICED Facility @icedfacility]

As of today, the ICED Facility is now closed. The Facility would like to thank all of its clients, stakeholders, partners, and supporters for useful collaboration and for making our achievements as a Facility possible.

[Hayley Sharp @hayleysharp]

Good work, DFID comms.

[DFID @DFID_UK]

Actually, @TheSun and @Daily_Express, your headlines are wrong.

DFID’s work on improving transport and urban infrastructure helps developing countries create jobs and grow their economies, a win for them and a win for the UK, which trades with them

[ICAI @icai_uk]

New #UKaid review of @DFID_UK’s investments in #transport & urban #infrastructure finds DFID plays important role alongside multilateral development banks but raises concerns about effectiveness of DFID's directly-supported work
