PURE Visit to Flanders - Belgium Government resigns

Posted April 27, 2010 - 08:36 by Mike Osborne

Dear All

Last Thursday. the Belgian cabinet resigned on the second day of the PURE visit to Flanders which has resulted in a fundamental constitutional crisis that threatens the future of the Belgian state. Barry Hake, who led the CDG wishes to point out that the PASCAL team were in no way responsible.

I might add that the University of Glasgow will not be using this event as an example of impact for the next Research Excellence Framework exercise carried out on behalf of the UK government.

Best wishes Mike
