Staff Matters December 2025

Editor’s Message

We are very pleased to share December’s Staff Matters with you. In this edition of your staff magazine, we feature a month in the life of the University’s Centre for Population Change; we look at how the Southampton Maritime & Marine Institute is leading calls for a shift towards a ‘blue’ economy; and learn how the National Biofilms Innovation Centre showcased its work at the British Science Festival in Liverpool. In addition, we bring news of colleagues’ remarkable work and achievements, as well as appearances in the media.

With Christmas approaching, we’re also pleased to be holding our usual Festive Five competition, in which you can win one of five £10 Campus Kitchen vouchers. To win you need to answer these questions correctly. Terms and conditions apply.
