The Critical-Chains Consortium had its first project management meeting (the project kick-off meeting) on 11th-12th July 2019 at the ICMA Centre for Financial Markets at the University of Reading.

Dr Julian Stubbe, a member of our Ethical Advisory Board kindly accepted our invitation to attend this meeting. Julian participated in work-package-specific discussions following his opening address on the challenges of socially responsible and responsive research and innovation with particular reference to the development and application of disruptive technologies such as Blockchain to be developed within the Critical-Chains project.
