Latest updates
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/e1/f02e072740f1e1a4e4aac5.jpg]Facilities now open
The golf course and catering facilities at Ross Priory are now open for bookings.
Face-to-face exercise classes at Strathclyde Sport will resume on Monday 17 May but please be advised that the swimming pool is now closed for approximately two months for essential repair.
We have also been able to open the Aura Café in the Lord Hope building, and the Flava Café in the Library foyer as a drop-in space for students to enjoy their own food.
While we are planning for the future, it is important to be aware that, in line with national guidance for higher education, working and studying from home will remain the default position for the vast majority of students and staff for some time to come.
We will keep you updated on the latest guidance, and please rest assured that the health, safety and wellbeing of our University community will remain at the heart of all our decision-making.

Connecting with nature
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/3d/fd1b826631aebc9c9121c3.jpg]Nature is the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week 2021.
The Mental Health Foundation tells us that: “Nature is so central to our psychological and emotional health, that it’s almost impossible to realise good mental health for all without a greater connection to the natural world.
"For most of human history, we lived as part of nature. It is only in the last five generations that so many of us have lived and worked in a context that is largely separated from nature.”

Transforming processes with Microsoft Planner
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/7b/ea5c689ecd3f5896aba0f2.png]Operational excellence is a vital component of Vision 2025 and capitalising on our investment in information systems and tools, such as the Microsoft Office 365 suite, allows us to take a digital-first approach, with a focus on simplification and automation of business processes.
Amanda Baldwin, Widening Access Manager, tells us how her team has used Microsoft Forms to transform the way they capture feedback from outreach school pupils.
Using Forms has resulted in significant savings in time, effort and paper - making the whole evaluation and data collection process far more efficient and sustainable.

Balance training is often neglected when people are developing their fitness regime, but it can be incredibly beneficial to your overall health and wellbeing.
The ExHALE balance training video demonstrates examples of appropriate exercises.

The GATERS project, led by the University of Strathclyde
A greener, more efficient rudder system, designed at the University of Strathclyde, will be demonstrated as part of a €6 million EU-funded research project.
The GATERS project led by the University of Strathclyde under the Horizon 2020 Fund, will see the ‘gate rudder’ – a novel propulsion and steering system – retro-fitted to a commercial vessel as part of a trial.
Unlike a traditional rudder which sits behind a ship’s propellers to steer the vessel, the U-shaped gate rudder – essentially two separate rudders – sits astride the propeller which, as a result, acts like a nozzle around the propeller and generates additional thrust.

Project prevents 500 used overalls from going to waste
A University of Strathclyde student has helped a global oil and gas firm to cut waste by repurposing old personal protective equipment (PPE).
With more than 20,000 employees worldwide TechnipFMC goes through a large amount of PPE which at the end of its useful life is normally sent to landfill.
As part of a class assignment for her MSc Environmental Entrepreneurship in Practice programme, Strathclyde Business School student Louise Thomson, from Dunoon, worked with the company to identify opportunities to reduce waste.
