91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ

Minerva Nottingham, a new collaboration between the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University (NTU) and Minerva Business Angels, part of the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ Science Park, has held its inaugural pitching event at NTU. The new group aims to raise the profile of opportunities both for growth companies and potential investors in Nottingham and the wider D2N2 LEP area.

Using asteroseismology, a team including an astronomer from the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ, revised the parameters for two red-giant stars known to host exoplanets, and for one of them found that the planet should not exist in its current location based on current theories.

Three new exciting opportunities for engineering and manufacturing experts are being advertised at WMG, 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ, including Regius Professor of Manufacturing – which was last held by the late founder of WMG Professor Lord Bhattacharyya.

The stories of families and individuals affected by genetically-inherited conditions are to be told in a new installation based of 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ research that invites members of the public to explore their own ‘genetic baggage’.

A leading-edge new telescope instrument, designed and built by an international collaboration including the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ, has today (28 October) aimed its 5,000 fibre-optic eyes at the night sky for the first time.

Six titles have been shortlisted for the third annual award of the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation - the £1000 prize was established by the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ in 2017 to address the gender imbalance in translated literature and to increase the number of international women’s voices accessible by a British and Irish readership.
