This symposium aims at reporting the results of the Innovate UK-Ministry of Science and Technology China project entitled “Increasing bearing life by combining a novel manufacturing bearing steel process with multiscale modelling techniques”. The project combines academic groups at Lancaster University (LU), University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB), and the China Iron and Steel Research Institute (CISRI), together with industries such as SKF and Jiangyin Xingcheng Special Steel (JXSS). Future work based on the adoption of the results by industry will also be discussed.

Advanced Resource Efficiency Centre (AREC) Showcase in the European Parliament
On 27th June 2015, the AREC team, led by Professor Lenny Koh, showcased its research and impact at the ‘Pathways to Global Policy, Industry and Societal Impact on Resource Efficiency and Sustainability event at the European Parliament, Brussels.
The event was hosted by John Procter, MEP for Yorkshire and Humber, through the White Rose Brussels group, and attended by policy makers, industry representatives and academics. The main aims of the event were to present the impact of AREC’s research and develop potential future connections to further extend AREC’s impact reach.

DARE PhD student to work with leading academic at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Guy Skinner, a PhD student based at Kings College London and a member of the DARE programme, has been offered a summer internship with Professor John Moriarty of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
This opportunity came as a result of personal communication with John Moriarty regarding the Generalised Pseudopotential Theory (GPT) he developed, which enabled Guy to subsequently develop his own mathematical model for use in the DARE research theme “Magnesium Alloys less dependent on Rare Earth additions”.
During his internship Guy will be working with John Moriarty on the creation of novel Mg-Ca, Mg-Li pair potentials using GPT. These will be used to simulate the energetics of defects and interfaces in these alloy systems with DFT-like accuracy.
We look forward to hearing more about Guy’s research activities in the US on his return in the autumn.
