1 -Developed a school-level VLE (LZ) resource ( 2022-2025) ( https://demontfortuniversity-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/snasir01_dmu_ac_uk/Ee0bfCsuSFRBq-6w-VfI9ygBmS6BRDKTFtWGRc2GTiTHuw?e=JzilfL) to support colleagues within the Faculty of Business and Law (BAL). Since its launch, the resource has received over 5,100 views, demonstrating its significant impact and widespread use at DMU. 

2- DMU BizSpark (24-25): In response to students interest in gaining UK-based business experience, we have organised DMU BizSpark (Business Challenge Competition) for 24-25 academic year. This is an excellent opportunity to engage in a dynamic competition that bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, enhancing both your practical and academic skills. Participating in BizSpark will also add valuable experience to your CV, demonstrating your engagement and involvement with the UK’s business environment. In this competition, we had the voluntary participation of 7 UK companies—including family businesses, SMEs, and multinational corporations—alongside over 150 students and 20 academic staff members.  

This programme (BizSpark) was co-led and organised by Dr Masoud Keimasi and me, with support from Ms Leena Dattani-Demirci, Head of Student Success and Professional Development at BAL and the Head of LMM School Ms Julia Cook. 

3- Training sessions for DMU international partners : Since 2023, I have delivered voluntary VLE / LZ training sessions for our international partners in Dubai, Denmark, Kazakhstan, and China, which have contributed to the development of partner performance and supported DMU’s goals and mission.
