Cardiff Metropolitan University is proud to support Welsh innovation on the global stage. 🌍

(Cymraeg ⬇️)

Through a pioneering Enhanced Knowledge Transfer Partnership (eKTP) with MM Engineering (MME), a flood defence company based in Port Talbot, Cardiff Met researchers helped bring cutting-edge manufacturing insights from China back to Wales.

From visiting the China International Industry Fair (CIIF) to exploring ten advanced manufacturing facilities across Shanghai, Wuxi, Nanjing, Hebei and Beijing, the partnership examined the latest in automation, intelligent production and digital manufacturing technologies.

The knowledge gained is now helping shape MME’s future strategy, supply chain development and international growth opportunities.

In his article for The Conversation UK, Joe writes about how FIFA is treating the FIFA World Cup as a global broadcasting showcase as much as a sporting event.

Joe argues that AI, new camera perspectives and platform-first storytelling are set to transform how football is filmed, packaged and distributed.

We’re wishing the very best of luck to graduate, Lloyd Macey, who’ll be conducting a very special choir on the Britain's Got Talent semi-final tomorrow night.

Lloyd, who graduated with a PGCE Secondary Welsh in 2021, will be directing Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf’s boys’ choir as they hope to make it to the finals.

The 70-strong vocal ensemble captured the nation’s attention with their rendition of The Greatest Showman’s “Never Enough” in their BGT audition, earning a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.

📸 Members of the choir brought the house down when they visited our Llandaff campus for our Dydd Gŵyl Dewi celebrations back in March - all under Lloyd’s baton.

Pob lwc bechgyn. We’ll be cheering you on as you perform in front of the nation. 👏

🏆 Cardiff Met is proud to share that Hannah Kinasz has been named 2026 Vaccination Saves Lives Champion by Public Health Wales.

Hannah, who is Business Support Coordinator for our Schools of Sport & Health Sciences and Education & Social Policy, has worked tirelessly to make vaccination easier for students, running induction sessions, giving clear advice and scheduling clinics alongside teaching so that students can get vaccinated without extra trips.

Her efforts have nearly halved missed appointments, cut delays and made vaccination fairer and more accessible for everyone.

Well done Hannah – this national recognition is so well deserved! 👏

Cardiff Met alumnus Jongjin Park has won this year’s LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize. 👏

Since graduating from our Master’s Ceramics course, Jongjin has continued to push the boundaries of contemporary ceramic practice through his innovative sculptural work. To be recognised by such a globally respected award is an incredible achievement, placing his work among some of the most exciting contemporary craft practices in the world.

The LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious awards in contemporary craft. The international prize celebrates exceptional craftsmanship, artistic innovation and technical excellence, attracting leading makers from across the globe.

Senior Lecturer Claire Curneen, who taught Jongjin during his time at Cardiff Met, said:

“We are incredibly proud to see Jongjing, a graduate of our Ceramics Master’s course, gaining international recognition through the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize.

“During his time at Cardiff Met, Jongjing demonstrated an exceptional attitude to his studio practice and theoretical research, creating technically outstanding ceramic sculpture.

“He challenged the boundaries of contemporary ceramics and expanded the dialogue between art and craft, particularly through his unique and innovative approach in the manufacture of his sculptures.

“This award win reflects the skills, creativity and ambition we champion in our students. We look forward to following his continued success in the industry.”

Congratulations Jongjing. We are all watching with pride as you continue to make your mark on the world of contemporary craft. 🥳
