A Roundup of the Kreaverse

As September winds down, the campus gears up for an exciting October. A major highlight is the launch of the Global+1 partnership with Johns Hopkins University, opening up new postgraduate opportunities for students. Another key milestone is the successful installation of a cutting-edge multifrequency GNSS receiver, boosting space research and ionospheric studies at the campus. Looking ahead, Wellbeing Week and Higher Education Day promise to bring the campus together for reflection, growth, and future-focussed dialogue.
