Big Fish Experiment Framework Preface: "Big Fish" are defined as large organisations with many subsidiaries or individuals that have a large stake in businesses or business property within Dili. This is an experiment framework, not an experiment. The underlying assumption is that the “Big Fish” has individual needs and therefore each experiment should be drafted individually. It provides a number of options of things to consider when designing the experiment. Also, we recommend that a...

[JULY 18][REPURPOSE]A Real Pain In the Glass

Here in Timor-Leste the recycling of glass bottles has proven to be a real challenge for ERS. We have explored the option to use glass as an aggregate base in roads and concrete, after hearing of the successes of this method back in Australia. We also considered the use of crushed glass as a water filter and as a decorative addition to plaster walls. There has just been one thing stopping us from achieving this and that is resources. After ringing countless construction companies we have...

Our staff number is increasing! This is what we work for! Creating employment in the communities we operate is a crucial part of...
