👋🏾Heyyyy Ombuddies: I am so excited about the upcoming International Ombuds Association conference. Let me know By a show of 👍🏾 and 👎🏾 in the comment section if I will see your face in the place? 👀👀👀👀👀

The August issue of E-News is here! Read about becoming a Support Group Leader, OI Research Updates, and upcoming OIF Events and Conferences at https://lnkd.in/gnP6M5JF!

I just arrived in Zürich where I will speak at the Beyond Budgeting Round Table conference tomorrow. Very much looking forward to hearing about cases at Roche, Caritas and Handelsbanken! I will share some lessons learned from various agile transformation attempts that I have experienced over the last years and foresee an interesting dialogue on Beyond Budgeting as a critical success factor for agility. Stay tuned! #beyondbudgeting #ekanmanagement

What does an ECRIN coordinating European Correspondent do? 🤔 We sat down with Dr. Linda Stöhr & Neshat Chareh, PhD, our German EuCos, to learn more about this role and how ECRIN supports the KKS-Netzwerk e. V. in Germany. 🤝    👉 Take a minute and read the interview to get the answers to these questions and more: https://lnkd.in/dPyq-n-f

* Research alert * .....and Ola from Spain! ... where #COEMinerals researcher, materials engineer Regina Medeiros is attending the 13th International Colloids Conference (#COLL2024). We are delighted to share Regina's new research paper: "Selective aggregation of fine copper minerals using charged polyacrylamides", open access, in Elsevier Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects: https://lnkd.in/gjn_3ukB Congratulations to all authors, including Dr Casey Thomas and Prof. George Franks Research explainer: #Copper minerals are essential for securing the future supply of renewable energy and cleaner technologies, with previous studies showing an increasing crescent copper demand of up to 350% by 2050. The proposed flocculation approach has the potential of improving the collection of the fine copper particles normally lost in industrial separation processes, which can count for up to 20% of total copper in the ore. Additionally, it offers an alternative to #reprocessing existing mineral waste, reducing the need for additional extraction, and potentially saving water and energy use in mineral beneficiation (separation).   The research investigates how these polymers interact with the mineral surfaces, their adsorption mechanisms and flocculation capabilities, including in-situ measurement of the size and structure of the aggregates. The research shows important advances about what types of commercially inexpensive reagents can be used for flocculation, and how they can be applied to improve the recovery of valuable copper fine particles. This work should be of interest to readers in the areas of particle aggregation, polymer adsorption, in-situ particle image characterisation, and mineral processing.

What was your highlight at the #IDUForum2023? One of our highlights for sure was the impressive speech by the 48th Vice President of the United States of America Mike R. Pence:
