We look forward to the first edition of our #BiweeklyColloquia in 2024 this afternoon. Koji Mizoguchi from #KyushuUniversity (Japan) will examine the coalescence of linear time marking and the deification of the deceased, notably observed during the transition from complex-chiefdoms to early-inchoate state formations within Japan and other regions.

Next was an engaging discussion on the practice of co-design at #KyushuUniversity with Minako Ikeda and Johan Lauwereyns. This conversation is best enjoyed if you speak both Japanese and English but I think is understandable even if you only speak one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db6PmQSdMOA&t=7s (5/9) #Japan #design

#sintef #ntnu #KyushuUniversity and our industry partners have successfully secured funding for the HyLINE II project!
By closely studying how #hydrogen interacts with #pipeline material, our project aims to overcome critical challenges and unlock opportunities for enhanced performance, efficiency, and safety for hydrogen gas transport in both existing and new pipelines. In contrast to HyLINE I, which primarily focused on base metal, HyLINE II will shift its research focus to welded joints.
