The EU section of the blog will be a little quieter over the next couple of weeks as I enjoy some time off on my holidays. I have scheduled some exciting updates on items such as Horizon 2020 for while I am away and RKE Operation’s Paul Lynch will be posting any urgent announcements. If you have any EU related news you want to share with your colleagues, posting is really very easy, my colleague Jo Garrard can provide you with guidance on how to do this.
