The School of Electronic Engineeringhas recently been welcoming students from Brazil, and has beencollaborating with Universities there.Two of our final year MEng students- Sean Kiely and Paul Spencer were offered a 9 week placement over thesummer at the University of SaoPaulo. “Going to Brazil and taking the opportunity to work abroad not onlygave me more confidence in mystudies, motivation to become a better engineer and a willingness totry new things but also gave me abetter perspective on the World.Quite frankly in the UK we have somany opportunities that we let slipby but if you’re given the chance togo and study abroad, grab it withboth hands and don’t look back, Iloved every minute of it”, said SeanKiely.

Paul Spencer added, “My time spentin Brazil was a great experienceboth academically and culturally.The research I carried out duringthe 9 week placement was in thefield of organic electronics, in particular the organicfield effecttransistor (OFET). Everyone at theuniversity was very welcoming andhelpful,we were invited to socialevents and made some goodfriends.”

Nikola Neto is one of our ScienceWithout Borders students fromUni Federal De Minas Gerais andis currently studying ElectronicEngineering.

Nikola decided to come to Bangorbecause, “I liked the ElectronicEngineering department and Iwanted to live in a small andfriendly city”.

Nikola said, “The lecturers offera lot of support to all of the students. They care about ourstudies and are very supportive,and helpful. Altogether it is avery caring environment and wehave access to plenty of individual support outside of our lectures”.

Nikola has joined Bangor University’s handball team and isreally enjoying it, as for Bangorand the surrounding area Nikolasaid, “It is nice, the atmosphere ofthis University city is great.When I first arrived for wecomeweek everybody was so welcoming and I settled in easily”.

Wales Health Symposium

Bangor University School of Health Sciences organized a one day Brazil-Wales Health Symposium on 31 October 2012, aimed to bring together academics, practitioners and policy makers from Brazil and Wales publichealth sectors to explore context, ideas and opportunities for Health collaboration. In her introduction speech at the Symposium, ProfessorJane Noyes from Bangor University who coordinated the Symposium commented that Brazil and UK share similar underlying approaches andideologies in health care. Both health systems are public funded, free atpoint-of-use, universal and based on comprehensive primary health care.

Both are concerned with improving health equity and reducing socio-eco-nomics disparities and both strive to ensure that Health is a lever forbroader social changes. These provide the foundation for broader partnerships between the two countries, which may include regulation ofmedical devices, influenza research, primary health care, workforceplanning and the health effects of climate change.

Bangor University has been active in promoting collaborations with Brazilian universities and government agencies. In June 2012, Bangor University signed a MoU with UNESP, which is one of the most presti-gious universities in Brazil. The agreement supports a range of academic exchange and research collaboration. A high profile partnership withFAPESP, the Sao Paulo State Science Foundation, will facilitate researchmobility and initiatives between Bangor University and Sao Paulo Statebased universities over the next two years in science, engineering andhealth. On the back of this funding opportunity, Bangor School of OceanScience received a delegation from the Institute of Oceanography of USPin early October 2012.

Spotlight on BrazilBangor University visits BrazilOur International Officer for Brazil, Gwawr Williams, was delighted tomeet a record number of students at the British Council Education UK Exhibitions in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in October.“The Science Without Borders scholarship programme, supported bythe Brazilian government, is opening up a world of opportunities forstudents from Brazil. There is certainly an increased interest instudying abroad, including the UK. It is therefore important that potential students are not only aware of the fantastic study opportunities offered at BU, but also how special Bangor is as a studydestination”, said Gwawr Williams.

Gwawr also visited a number of key HE institutions who already have linkswith Bangor University and are keen to develop long term, sustainablepartnerships.

“The programme is also encouraging UK institutions to explore otherways of working with reputable institutions in Brazil. Opportunities include Study Abroad, staff and student exchanges, research collaborations as well as direct recruitment.”, added Gwawr.

Bangor University has since received a signed MoU from the The EscolaSuperior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ), the University of SãoPaulo campus specialising in agriculture and related science. The linkwas developed by Professor Paul Withers, SENRGY, and he has alreadyvisited the ESALQ/USP Piricicaba Campus in November, providing guestlectures and discussing common research interests.

“I’m very excited. It’s a wonderful opportunity to develop collaborativeresearch on the globally important issues of food security, resource useefficiency and environmental protection, Our farming systems are verydifferent but the issues are fundamentally the same. The interchangeof research experience and ideas will be of enormous benefit to our students and will develop Bangor University’s reputation for science excellence in this area”, said Professor Paul Withers.

Bangor University will continue to pursue opportunities in Brazil and islooking forward to welcoming a further four Science Without Borders students in January 2013.

Increasing Broadband capacity two thousand-foldA revolutionary “future-proof” technology, first proposed by Bangor University, is the front-runner in satisfying future demand for dramatically increased internet speeds and capacity.

The technology, which would use current optical internet cabling, hasproven its ability to increase broadband transmission by up to two thousand times the current speed and capacity. To illustrate, that wouldmean downloading 20 feature length films in one second.

Professor Jianming Tang, of Bangor University’s School of Electronic Engineering and a leading scientist pursuing the new technology explains:

“Compared to today’s commercially available broadband connections,the technology is expected to provide end-users with both downloadingand uploading speeds up to 2,000 times faster than current speeds andwith a guaranteed quality of services at a price that subscribers are currently paying for their current 20Mb/s services, regardless of subscribers’ home location. Obviously, this will revolutionise communication technology”.

Partners working with Bangor University in the consortium (project nameOCEAN) include world leading technology companies and leading researchinstitutes: Fujitsu Semiconductors Europe, Finisar Israel, Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute and VPIsystems GmbH. Valued at over three millionEuros, the project is funded by the European Union.

Delegates from Pakistan visit Bangor UniversityA group of Registrars from various Pakistan Universities, HigherEducation Council and British Council Pakistan recently visitedBangor University as part of aweek-long visit to the UK. The purpose of their visit was to gain aninsight into UK Universities'processes in order to enhance theirown respective universities, focussing in particular on leadership, recruitment, managingchange and strategic thinking.
