Welcome to Warwick Students' Union! Please use the links below to take a look around. 

• Visit the SUHQ
• Visit The Atrium
• Visit The Dirty Duck

The SU is the centre of social life here at Warwick, and in this virtual tour, we’ll give you a look at some of the key facilities housed within our two buildings. In reality - SUHQ, the Atrium building and The Dirty Duck are all right next to each other. We've just split them into separate tours so it's easier for you to navigate.

The SU Atrium building is located right next to the Piazza, and this where you’ll find the majority of our food and drink outlets as well as The Copper Rooms nightclub. The Atrium also plays host to market stalls and society activities during the week, as well as providing a space for students to relax or study. Visit The Atrium

The SUHQ building above Rootes Grocery Store is where you’ll find your elected student officers, SU Reception and a whole host of student support services including, the Advice Centre, Student Activities (Sports and Societies) and Student Voice. It's also home to the SU’s fantastic social study space - The Green Room. Visit the SUHQ

Up the staircase between the two SU buildings is The Dirty Duck, our traditional campus eatery. The home of real ale and hearty food on campus, it’s one of the best places to meet up with friends and relax, with the evenings hosting regular Quiz and Karaoke nights. It’s also home to our exclusive social space for Postgrad students, The Graduate. Visit The Dirty Duck

Aerial Virtual Tour: The University of Warwick

VIEW 360 VIRTUAL TOUR

Aerial virtual tours can be a valuable marketing asset. This is especially true for large or striking locations. Offering a sweeping overview of a location or giving viewers a new perspective can really help your brand stand out amongst its competitors.

The University of Warwick

The University of Warwick is a world-leading institution and is one of the Russell Group of Universities. It is ranked as one of the UK’s top 10 universities. As a result, it attracts students from all over the globe. In fact, over 40% of Warwick’s students come from outside the UK. It’s vital that these students and their families are able to get a thorough understanding of the university before applying. They need to interrogate the academic facilities. They want to understand what university life can offer at this particular institution. Circumstances or government guidelines may mean that domestic students could also be unable or unwilling to tour the university in person.

Aerial Virtual Tour – a different means of navigating

The University of Warwick campus covers an area of over 700 acres. The 360 virtual tours could have been linked together for users to navigate through with a map. Instead, the University of Warwick team came to us because they wanted something a little different. They wanted students to be able to get an idea of the campus’ scale and position using aerial virtual tours. These aerial 360s give them an overview (quite literally) of the campus. They show them how academic buildings and student accommodation relate to each other. They can see the styles of architecture. And of course, the tours let them ‘dive down’ to explore the buildings that interest them.

Students can see where the running track is in relation to Jack Martin Halls, or Westwood Campus. Viewers can see Coventry beyond the campus on one side, and green spaces surrounding the others. Therefore the tours help students and their families understand a little more about the local area.

Google Maps Integration

You can use Google Maps within the virtual tour. Thus you can see where you are at all times, and even which direction you’re facing in.

Virtual open days

The 360 tours give useful insight into academic facilities and campus life. This is especially true for students outside the local area or overseas. Now however, Covid has made university virtual tours absolutely invaluable. Ultimately, prospective students have remote access to locations that they cannot currently tour physically. In effect the University has a permanent ‘virtual open day’!

We’re delighted to have been invited to work with the University of Warwick on their 360 project. Finally, please click here to see the aerial virtual tours .

Students occupy Warwick piazza over university’s ‘Israel ties’

Action to coincide with open day comes after widespread unrest on us campuses.

• Share on linkedin
• Share on mail

Pro-Palestinian students have occupied the centre of the University of Warwick  in a protest against the institution’s financial ties to Israeli “genocide” in Gaza, in another sign that US campus unrest is spreading across the pond.

The organisation Warwick Stands with Palestine is holding what it calls an “Alternative Open Day” on the central piazza on 26-27 April – timed to coincide with the institution’s own offer-holder day.

Speaking with Times Higher Education , a spokesperson for the group said the occupation marked an escalation of tactics after Warwick had rejected their demands to “cut ties with genocide” and ignored motions by students’ unions, open letters, protests and sit-ins.

“We feel the popular will of the students has been flat-out rejected,” they said.

“We’re using the political moment, the escalations happening in Columbia [University] and all over the world at the moment…to keep the attention on Gaza.”

In statements posted online, the coalition of student and staff organisations said they wanted to “rise up in unison with fellow students all over the world, from Columbia, NYC, to Paris, to Sydney”.

The group, which occupied the piazza in the early hours of 26 April with tents and Palestinian flags, said they joined thousands of students all over the world in “reclaiming space on their campuses for Gaza to demand divestment from colonial genocide”.

Clashes have continued in the US, with a  new wave of student demonstrations and encampments at dozens of campuses leading to hundreds of arrests in the past few days.

As part of its demands for divestment, Warwick Stands with Palestine wants the university to immediately terminate all academic and teaching partnerships with companies it claims are facilitating Israel’s war in Gaza – including Rolls-Royce, Moog and BAE Systems.

It also demands that Warwick call for an immediate ceasefire to the conflict, something many UK vice-chancellors have been reluctant to do , wants the university to pledge to  assist the rebuilding of Gaza’s destroyed education sector , and seeks protection for the freedom of speech for Palestinian students and staff .

The movement appeared to have the backing of at least some of academic staff, with the Warwick University and College Union (UCU) branch pledging its “full solidarity” with the students.

“We trust the university will respect the students’ right to peaceful protest and hope they will respond meaningfully to the students’ demands,” said a spokesperson for the UCU branch.

Nicola Pratt, professor of the international politics of the Middle East at Warwick, said the institution had failed to address an open letter signed by more than 500 staff and students calling on the university to cut ties with companies that are “profiting from and enabling Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip”.

“Universities have a moral responsibility to support peace and freedom and not to be complicit in war crimes, crimes against humanity and human rights violations,” she told  THE .

As part of the alternative open day, students are holding a series of events to “reimagine what campus will look like when Palestine is free”, including kite-making workshops and poetry readings.

The Warwick Stands with Palestine spokesperson said they wanted to speak with prospective students about the university’s ties to Israel.

“We’re trying to make that violence visible on campus, and we think the university will have a reputational damage when we attempt to disrupt their ability to introduce themselves through the open days,” they added.

A Warwick spokesperson said the university was aware of the protest.

“We are talking to the protesters and engaging positively. Planned campus activities will continue,” they said.

Elsewhere in the UK, a rally was set to take place at UCL after a 34-day occupation of a campus building came to an end. The UCL Action for Palestine group was set to meet with the institution’s president, Michael Spence.

Parvulescu wins $1.2M European Union grant

Project will investigate origins of comparative literature

Anca Parvulescu , the Liselotte Dieckmann Professor in Comparative Literature and a professor of English, both in Arts & Sciences, at Washington University in St. Louis, will serve as principal investigator for a $1.2 million grant exploring the history of comparatism and the origins of the comparative method.

The project is funded by the European Union, through a 2 1/2-year Next Generation grant, and is hosted by Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania. Parvulescu’s team of 17 international scholars ranges from tenured faculty to doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows.

“We’re interested in how the comparative method develops on the margins of European empires,” said Parvulescu, author, with sociologist Manuela Boatcă, of “Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania Across Empires” (2022), which won awards from both the American Comparative Literature Association and the American Sociological Association. “Comparative literature is theoretically about multilingualism, but this ideal often gets filtered through imperial policy. We end up with a hierarchy that assumes the superiority of Western European literary traditions.”

While the ability to make comparisons is a fundamental aspect of human cognition, the comparative method represents a specific intellectual tradition, one that arose from 19th-century linguistics to shape a variety of disciplines across the humanities, sciences and social sciences.

Formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Cluj (Kolozsvár in Hungarian and Klausenburg in German) is arguably the birthplace of comparative literature, thanks to the 1877 launch of Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum, a polyglot journal edited by Sámuel Brassai and Hugó Meltzl.

“It was a utopian moment,” Parvulescu said. “The assumption was that if you were writing on Cervantes, you’d publish in Spanish. If you were writing on Goethe, you’d publish in German. But this didn’t always happen; multilingualism ended up being implemented in selective ways. The analysis of a Romani-language poem was framed in German.”

In the metropolitan hearts of European colonial powers, cultural comparison could take triumphalist turns. But on the fringes, the interplay of local languages reflected political jostling. In Cluj, for example, German and Hungarian maintained an uneasy accord with the French world of letters, but were in marked tension with regional languages, such as Romanian, Yiddish, Romani and Armenian.

“We’re looking at this cultural moment as a case study,” Parvulescu said. “But we’re also positing it as a global moment in which something similar is happening in other parts of the world. We’re interested in how so-called minor literary traditions thought about their relation to the big centers but also to each other. What emerges from this study is an expansive, heterogenous archive of comparative figures and approaches — at a global scale. In turn, methodological tools derived from this history enrich our sense of what comparatism can be today.”

Parvulescu recounts the story of a 1926 visit to Romania by Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Prize-winning Bengali writer, poet and composer. “He was welcomed as a hero,” Parvulescu said. “Romanian intellectuals were really invested in a non-European figure with whom they could bridge cultural relations horizontally, as opposed to the hierarchies of Paris or Berlin.”

Today, these hierarchies may have shifted, with English emerging as the dominant language of globalization, but the tensions remain familiar.

“We often refer to it as the monolingual paradigm,” Parvulescu said, “It’s a convergence toward one language that assumes a particular place in the politics of knowledge. Knowledge produced in that language is seen as superior to knowledge produced in other languages — if the latter are on the table at all. Today, this language is English. Our project reframes the politics of global English (and its attendant sociology of translation) against a long and complex history of monolingualization.”

In addition to WashU and Babeș-Bolyai, members of Parvulecu’s team are affiliated with the University of Freiburg, the University of North Carolina and the University of California, Los Angeles. Parvulescu noted that similar comparatist projects are underway at the University of Cambridge, the University of Bielefeld and the University of Warwick. She hopes to build on the work of the grant through WashU’s Center for the Humanities in Arts & Sciences.

Stephanie Kirk, director of the Center for the Humanities, said the grant “opens up exciting possibilities. I look forward to seeing how we might create programming, publication and U.S.-based grant writing opportunities, as well as collaboration among WashU humanities faculty and graduate students from different fields and language traditions.”

Parvulescu concluded: “I think the task of comparative literature is to do the work of respecting and cultivating languages around the world. Comparative literature insists, against all odds, on multilingualism as a value.”

Warwick holds groundbreaking ceremony for City Hall Plaza

by TEMI-TOPE ADELEYE, NBC 10 NEWS

WARWICK, R.I. (WJAR) — A major recreational project for the city of Warwick will soon come to life.

Warwick Mayor Frank Picozzi gathered with other local and state leaders for the groundbreaking of the Greenwood Credit Union City Hall Plaza.

"We're here today to start the final leg of this long and arduous journey. for me, this journey began before I was mayor," said Picozzi.

Picozzi made the official announcement for the project in January 2022 , when people were still wearing COVID masks outdoors.

But, this Thursday was the first groundbreaking for the skating rink and event space.

Picozzi hopes it will be the heartbeat of Warwick, bringing more life to Apponaug Village.

"I got this idea watching the skating rink in Providence and the one in New York, and I knew that would work well here, but I wanted to go beyond an outdoor skating rink," said Picozzi. "There will be disco roller skating here in the summertime. We'll have square dances for seniors and ballroom dancing. We'll have restaurant nights."

There were several renderings of the roughly $7 million central gathering space.

It will include a 12,000-square-foot ice rink for the winter months, a year-round event center with space for roller skating, pickle ball, farmers markets, concerts and much more.

It's a city, state and federally funded project.

Sen. Jack Reed said he and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse secured millions of dollars from a Senate Earmark grant.

"As the mayor pointed out it was both Senator Whitehouse and I that worked hard for the five million dollars that is a federal contribution to this effort," said Reed.

Picozzi said work is scheduled to begin next month and the project should be complete in 12 to 14 months.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

West Bank upbringing sparks Aussie student to lead Melbourne campus protest

Australian students have joined thousands of university students worldwide who are camping on campuses calling for peace in Gaza.

Lockdown activist left broke from legal fees

Horror after man found stabbed at Maccas

A global student movement has dug roots at the University of Melbourne, as students near a week camping on campus in a pro-Palestine demonstration.

Various student groups are involved in the encampment, which buried its stakes in a large central lawn area of the Parkville campus last Thursday.

On Monday, there were at least 60 tents and swags, plus communal gazebos on site.

The demonstration is broadly calling for the University of Melbourne to cut ties with any and all weapons manufacturers.

The institution has worked with Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon on non-weapons related research, and says all projects comply with ethics, integrity and Defence rules and codes.

Lockheed Martin makes rocket and ballistic missiles, various fighter jets and attack helicopters among a host of other defence and commercial technologies.

A university spokesperson said the university had received $3.5m from Lockheed Martin since 2016. The funds went to non-weapons related AI, resources, and quantum computer projects, plus powerline safety monitoring and fire fighting drone control.

Boeing sponsors scholarships at the university, and current projects funded by Boeing include testing virus-resistant aeroplane tray tables, and investigating an environmentally friendly way to break down decommissioned commercial planes.

Boeing makes military planes and missiles, and the US supplies Israel with Boeing’s guided air-to-surface bombs.

Raytheon makes bombs, missiles and radars. The University of Melbourne has “no current relationship” with the company.

In 2009 the university and Raytheon partnered in a weather-monitoring project. In 2011, a University of Melbourne researcher worked with a different university and Raytheon on a quantum computing project, the details of which were not to hand.

Dana Alshaer is an accidental weapons expert.

The University of Melbourne student can hear the difference between a sniper bullet and a rubber-coated bullet, having been born and raised in Bethlehem, in the West Bank.

Ms Alshaer, an international relations masters student studying on a scholarship, and is a key organiser of the campus encampment.

The 30-year-old has intermittent contact with her friends in Gaza, most of whom she says have lost their homes.

She said her 15-year-old cousin, and the boy’s mother, were beaten at home by Israelis last week, before the teenager was taken away.

There was a particular period of heightened tension from 2000 to 2005 in the contested area, called the Second Intifada or Second Uprising. During this Ms Alshaer says she and her cousin were walking on an isolated road, when a “huge” Israeli man got out of his car with a rifle strapped around himself, picked her young cousin up by the throat before dumping the boy on the ground.

When she was eight years old, Ms Alshaer said the barrel of an Israeli tank tracked her from left-to-right, right-to-left as she tried to leave school.

“I’ve lived my whole life under a settler-colonist regime,” she said.

Her lived experience is why Ms Alshaer is one of the organisers for the encampment. She said the call went out and people from all over Naarm donated food, sleeping bags, tents, banners and paint.

The University of Melbourne spokesperson said the “peaceful” protesters were exercising their right, and the protest continued without incident.

“Freedom of speech is respected and supported at the University of Melbourne and is central to our values and identity,” the spokesperson said.

“The University welcomes debate and peaceful protest on campus, provided it does not extend to violence, threat or intimidation.”

The university was made of a diverse, multicultural and multi-faith body of more than 80,000 students and staff, they said.

“All perspectives are welcome but these must be expressed in a respectful way, so that everyone can fully participate in University life,” the spokesperson said.

Sparked by the Columbia University president calling in New York police to dismantle an encampment, at least 40 colleges across the US, as well as universities in Paris, Rome – Warwick, Leeds and Leicester in the UK – and Sydney have followed suit.
