Upward to the Observatory

Research assistant Matthew Jonas has left the Social Research Unit to take up a position with SERIO, the Socio-Economic Research and Intelligence Observatory based at Plymouth University.

 
During his year at the Unit, Matt was much involved with the editorial management and marketing of our daily online news publication, Prevention Action, and with the development of our contribution to Birmingham City Council’s Brighter Futures strategy.
 
His legacy includes the Unit vegetable garden at Lower Hood Barn, which he planted and tended with his colleague, David Jodrell.
 
SERIO has been launched in collaboration with the Plymouth 2020 Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) which is bringing together public sector organisations, business and the community to promote Plymouth as vibrant European waterfront city.
