Transforming a Global Supply Chain for the Net Zero Era: The QBOL KTP Journey

How can a business improve its operations, reduce its environmental impact and remain commercially competitive? This question is at the heart of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between Quality Bearings Online (QBOL) and Leeds Beckett University. The project, Intelligent System for the Net Zero Era, brings together expertise from Dr Alfred Chintaat Leeds Business School and Professor Ah-Lian Korat the School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing, to explore how data, AI and sustainability can inform supply chain decisions. As the project enters its final 12 months, KTP Associate Vignesh Kumar reflects on the progress so far and how sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.

Imagine a school where every child wants to move: Physical literacy in action

How can we help more children and young people develop a positive relationship with movement that lasts a lifetime? Thomas Hawkins, an LBU PhD student and graduate in BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching and a Masters by Research, is leading our Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with the Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) a 30-month project designed to create a whole-school culture where movement is valued by everyone. One year into the project, Thomas, our academic experts in the Carnegie School of Sport, and colleagues at GSAL, have begun co-designing curricula with teachers which focus on the whole child, not just the physical, and span subjects across the school, not just PE lessons. And the impacts are already taking shape.
