Versarien Share Discussion Threads

The only future "headache" I can see for VRS is how to manage so many various collaborations that will all be linked to specific multiple orders in the future. Expansion in facilities and skilled staff/workers to manage all this diversity especially in production, quality control and logistics will be urgently needed as soon as the VRS machine is fully oiled and starts running. This is because each application will require a different degree of graphene/nanene quality and refinement. For example, Medical & electronic equipment, special coatings for planes etc., will require a different level of material quality than concrete or supermarket pallets. The logistics and the quality control for all of this mix will be very demanding as in some areas no error is forgiven.

'UK scientists hope to participate more in future Chinese space projects.'

"Hundreds of leading scientists and technologists from the UK and Chinese space research and industry are discussing how to deepen the collaboration and pave the way for future innovation at the 13th UK-China workshop on space science and technology in Ningbo City, east China's Zhejiang Province, from December 11 to 13.

Since a joint laboratory was established by the UK's Science and Technology Facilities' RAL Space and China's Beihang University in 2005, the collaboration has brought together over 2,000 space scientists, technologists and industrialists from more than 90 organizations. The result has been 12 joint research projects and an international research program.

Anu Ojha, director of the UK National Space Academy, said, "A great example is what we call the agri-tech program, so how we can use the data from space to benefit life on earth? Now the UK and China have worked with support from both our governments, and it made a real difference for farmers on the ground, both in Europe and critically in China's less developed regions."

Space science missions have been the traditional domain for collaboration. The first European Space Agency and the Chinese National Space Administration mission, Double Star, was launched in 2003. In the nine years after it was launched, over 1,000 scientific publications using data from Double Star and its European sister mission, Cluster, had been published, written by scientists in Europe, China and across the world.

The vice president of China National Space Administration, Tian Yulong, told CGTN that China has expertise in space technology, engineering and applications, while the UK has a solid foundation in scientific culture and training, so he believes the collaboration has formed a very good complementarity and will further boost the Sino-British scientific cooperation.

The ongoing struggle to recruit skilled scientists and engineers in the UK's growing space sector has made UK efforts to bring space to the classroom and science to life particularly strong. The education program around Tim Peake's mission alone reached at least 1.6 million children and 9,894 schools.

Arfan Chaudhry, the head of International Policy at the UK Space Agency, told CGTN that there's an intent clearly to look at a lunar mission, as well as a lunar base, also looking at further development into Mars and Marshal Programs. So the corporation is essential in terms of space science and space development and will look to work closely with Chinese colleagues on that."

I've lost track slightly I think that is 9/13ths events per advent working day . Minimum by Friday is 60% . I defy anyone to find a higher rate of communication in the market.

Wonder if it is the aerospace one in the global 500, whichever one it is they are big.

Another RNSNON so no value attributed to it by the MM again! I am sure Neill will give more clarity later in a podcast.

Not enough to keep Loggy's mouth shut apparently. The one that does that will be pure Gold.

Brilliant neill and co. Skies not the limit ! All to play for here ! Grateful holder here :) aimo. Glalth. Best ellis

Or in fact, this is exactly what he meant, for LTH in the future this will be massive, not right now right but in the Long Term. So Long Term Holders this one is for you and youWill reap the rewards in years to come

[jointer13] 19/12/2018 07:15

its all about the quality.

[andymoore07] 19/12/2018 07:13

Yes I get the feeling this isn't what NR was alluding to!Another fantastic Collaboration well done guys but I think there is more to come!!

[matheus7777] 19/12/2018 07:13

Another aerospace RNS, this time in China, detailing uses for microwave and electromagnetic radiation shielding and heat dispersion coatings. Presumably less about aircraft and more about spacecraft then?

[jointer13] 19/12/2018 07:11

brilliant...don't forget a mou in china is like a binding contract.

[squire007] 19/12/2018 07:11

Not Friday yet ;-)

[fuji99] 19/12/2018 07:09

Excellent news ! Another important partner in the non-ending growing list of collaborations.
VRS is becoming a hard pill to swallow for shorters.

[pshevlin] 19/12/2018 07:04

Another stabiliser added to the share price but not the mover that most were bigging up.I am looking forward to a "proper" RNS, you know, the ones that are "financially" sensitive.

[dafad] 19/12/2018 07:03

This agreement is the latest in a series that we have entered into with parties in China and I would like to take this opportunity to again thank both the Chinese and UK governments for the support and assistance they are providing."

ALL WE NEED TO KNOW!!

Versarien plc("Versarien" or the "Company")Collaboration with Chinese Aerospace CompanyVersarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with a large state-owned Chinese aerospace company (the "Partner")The Partner is, mainly engaged in the research, design, manufacture and operation of various aerospace systems.The MOU details the parties desire to collaborate and ultimately enter into a strategic cooperation covering research, development and manufacturing in order to accelerate the industrialisation and market for graphene and other Versarien 2D materials, including Hexotene, in the Chinese aerospace sector. This will include exploring their uses within the fields of, amongst others, microwave and electromagnetic radiation shielding, heat dispersion coatings, 3D printing and flexible wearable devices.Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted to have reached this agreement with our latest Chinese Partner."The aerospace sector is at the forefront of developing advanced materials to cope with demands for attributes such as lightness, high strength, conductivity, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. We believe that the incorporation of Versarien's graphene and other 2D materials can provide significant benefits and we look forward to collaborating with the Partner to develop new and innovative products.'This agreement is the latest in a series that we have entered into with parties in China and I would like to take this opportunity to again thank both the Chinese and UK governments for the support and assistance they are providing."

Have you not got anything better to do,moron

[jointer13] 19/12/2018 06:54

that's the beauty about this company,having that many irons in the fire...no one knows whats coming next...or when.

[dafad] 19/12/2018 06:54

I'm sure Vrs could help here,I think they are China's largest rubber group

[luckykids] 19/12/2018 06:46

Probably time they turned the China deal into action moving from Mou to first signed manufacturer.Hey who knows

[66sequoia] 19/12/2018 06:40

My punt on an RNS is something to do with the global sportswear company.....#wishfulthinking #justaguess
