Marek Klodnicki Third year, Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering Idea - Leeds Library Linc App What is your idea? “The Leeds Library Linc app is a student connectivity platform designed to enhance the university experience. Key features include Study Group postings based on location and topic, a Notice Board for real-time updates, a Time Tracker to monitor time spent in libraries, a Wellbeing section for mental health support and a Skill Share feature for peer-to-peer tutoring.” Why is it important? “I am driven by the belief that educational tools should keep pace with modern technology. I envisioned an app that optimises the student experience. This app provides a dedicated space for students to navigate academic challenges and socialise more effectively.”

Text in video reads: "Last Friday, we hosted the Knowledge Futures Symposium at the University of Leeds. It was fantastic to see colleagues from Leeds and around the world come together to discuss how we can collectively confront questions around knowledge and its role in shaping a better society. Thank you to all attendees and panellists for an inspiring event."
