Lovely to have spent the week in Liverpool for #UACES2025. Great to catch up with colleagues and friends, and to learn what’s going in European Studies. Thanks to the amazing @uaces.bsky.social team for organising.

Had a great few days in Lille for the European Universities Continuing Education Network conference. Always helpful to be reminded of the value of sharing experiences and insights with colleagues elsewhere.

Very sad to see this. @ukandeu.bsky.social has, and continues to, put out important work on UK-EU relations which is rigorous and accessible, and is a model of how social science research can inform public debate. Proud to have played a small part with the post-Brexit fisheries governance research
