Our last face-to-face meeting in May 2024 was more than a plenary meeting. We shot a final film to showcase the integrated, modular FlowPhotoChem system in action. Our video is ready to view and share. This short film was screened for the first time today, September 10th, 2024 in Kampala, Uganda at the FlowPhotoChem final Exploitation Workshop. Special thanks to Christian Siegel at DLR for the collaboration. Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/1008071679

Hanka Besic, University of Galway PhD candidate Hanka Besic presented her FlowPhotoChem research in an abbreviated context titled "Sunlight, Air and Humble Materials" as part of the May 2024 Threesis. Threesis is a research communications training programme and competition at the University of Galway. Threesis invites postgraduate research students (Masters, PhD, MD) at the University of Galway for a series of training sessions, competition heats and a Grand Finale. This presented an opportunity to meet colleagues, learn about different research happening all over the University and hone communication skills. Threesis training took place in April and participants shared the [...]
