Many private companies have realized the benefits of forming a partnership with design schools. British Steel Strip Products and Avesta Sheffield Inc. have teamed up with the the Sheffield Hallam University's Art and Research Design Center and Rotherham Borough Council to form the Rotherham Steel Design Fellowship. The project aims to develop new steel products which can be offered to local companies to manufacture.

The business of fructification
Article Abstract:
The golden chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) was successfully grown in artificial culture. Eric Danell and Francisco J. Camacho used a pure culture of a chanterelle to inoculate a host tree in artificial conditions. Fungal sheaths were formed, thus producing fruiting bodies. The fructification of chanterelles in culture is hoped to lead to an understanding of the link between fungus and host tree as well as an elucidation of the difference of the chanterelle from many other ectomycorrhizal species.
