In the Winter Semester 2021/22, research visits to the UK are finally resuming.

BritInn Fellow Dr. Thomas Scheuerl from the Institute for Limnology, Mondsee, at the University of Innsbruck travelled to Oxford to work on a research project with colleagues at the University of Oxford, in September 2021.

Dr. Scheuerl is working on a very interesting ongoing project, which explores how complex bacterial communities evolve. A first part of this research project has already been published, but in order to  push ahead with his research, Dr. Scheuerl met with Prof. Barraclough from the Department of Zoology at the  University of Oxford. Prof. Barraclough is a leading expert in microbial community evolution and the two researchers used the time to discuss Dr. Scheuerl's recent findings. Together they analysed data, discussed new approaches and identified a list of 12 major tasks, which is supposed to result in a joint research paper in the upcoming months.
Moreover, Dr. Scheuerl met with other colleagues at the Department of Zoology as well as an interested PhD student who approached Dr. Scheuerl during his visit at the University of Oxford.

Unfortunately, the guest lecture was only held in front of a small audience, due to the Covid-19 regulations, but apart from that Dr. Scheuerl's research visit took place as planned. He said his stay at the University of Oxford was a great success and BritInn is happy that the first BritInn Fellowship to the UK took place after a long time of postponements.

​It was our great pleasure to meet up with Charge d'Affairs Nerys Jones!

​Since Ambassador Leigh Turner has retired from his position at the British Embassy Vienna, Ms Nerys Jones was appointed to his successor.
This week, the bilateral Charge d'Affairs Jones visited Innsbruck and held several meetings in the Tyrolean capital including a talk with BritInn and the head of the International Services at the University of Innsbruck, Dr. Barbara Tasser.
​
Current developments and changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic in academic exchange and scientific cooperation between universities and research institutions and the University of Innsbruck were discussed. Ms Jones was happy to hear that after a pause due to Covid-19, exchange programmes are now up and running again with several projects starting over the next couple of months.
