POWIS Update


John gets up close to HRH Charles

I traveled to the University of Waikato on Thursday to touch base with the Computer Science Dept to discuss POWIS. At the same time, John Beer, Pingar's UK-based, co-founder, was snuggling up to the POW at Clarence House. Hat doffed, Sir.

Our initiative is to connect the University of Waikato with the University of Swansea in Wales on a joint Pingar research and development initiative. POWIS funds a Waikato graduate to spend two years in Swansea to qualify for a PHD on a Pingar focused project. It's a great initiative from POW and the University of Wales.

Over the next few months, we will hopefully work through the process and commence that engagement. More news when I have it. Now where's that cucumber sandwich?
