HESA has just completed its latest survey into the career paths taken by graduates when they leave their universities and colleges, the assessment known as Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education. It discovered that 96.9% of Surrey students were found to be in employment six months after they graduated - an impressive achievement given the current economic climate.

The message is clear; collaboration brings strength, a sense of purpose and leads to something greater than the sum of its parts. SEPnet, the South East Physics network is a collaboration between universities (University of Kent, Queen Mary, University of London, Royal Holloway, University of London, University of Southampton, University of Surrey, University of Sussex), making best use of local resources such as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and ISIS.

The consortium hopes to achieve this massive reduction in the energy used to power networks within the next two-and-a-half years. It will mean a huge drop in the electricity needed to power the communications systems related to a new generation of communication.
