DIC recently engaged in an enriching visit to the School of Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham (UoB). The highlight of this visit was a productive meeting with Professor Eugenia (Éva) Valsami-Jones, Chair in Environmental Nanoscience.

DIC's delegation had the honor of presenting to Professor Valsami-Jones's distinguished group, shedding light on the innovative solutions within the company's portfolio. The presentation delved into the transformative potential of DIC's projects, focusing on advancements in advanced materials and sustainable practices.

We had constructive discussions that centered on the prospect of forging collaborations in European research projects. The meeting served as a forum to explore shared interests and synergies between DIC's initiatives and Professor Valsami-Jones's group's expertise in environmental nanoscience.

Commenting on the meeting, Dr. Mohamed Eldessouki, Director of DIC, expressed enthusiasm about the potential collaboration, saying, "Our discussion with Professor Valsami-Jones was incredibly insightful. It's clear that there is significant alignment in our goals, especially in the realms of environmental sustainability and cutting-edge research.
