While translating the ethnocentric narrative of Julius Caesar’s De Bello Gallico, I simultaneously witnessed the rise of xenophobic hate crimes during the pandemic. The injustice of ancient rapes and violations was revived in 21st-century newspaper headlines.
However, my comfort was soon replaced by a startling awareness of the parallels between fabled myths and modern-day events. I mistakenly thought I would be comforted by the familiar verse of Virgil amid the unfamiliar newness of college. Initially, I continued a seven-year-long study of Latin for the simple reason of wanting an early class to drag me out of bed every morning. Throughout my time at UChicago, by studying Classics, I have found that I’ve been able to open a connection to the past, reviving its memory and learning the many lessons it brings.
Contrary to popular belief, Classics is not dead, but rather an intrinsic part of everyday life. Whenever I tell people that I study Classics, I am often met with the same barrage of questions: Why do you study dead languages? What will you use that for? And of course, not to be forgotten is the ever-promising “what jobs can you even get with a Classics degree?” While these remarks bothered me as a first-year, over the years they’ve come to be comforting reinforcements of why I chose the Classics major.

#VIDI SPACE DRIVERS#
The UK-based design and engineering consultancy serves clients across the marine and energy space, with a particular focus on offshore wind.Ĭommenting on the Vidi Energy appointment, BLUE Director Amie Pascoe said: “Decarbonisation drivers continue to deliver wholescale change to the marine and energy markets. Account wins such as this one increases BLUE’s work within the renewables space.Īs an example, we welcomed Houlder into the BLUE fold last year. In turn, this reduces the amount consumers pay for energy.īLUE will work directly with the two co-founders of Vidi Energy – Nele Andersch, CBDO, and Robert Speht, CEO – to raise awareness of the disruptive progress it’s making in revolutionising the offshore wind market, underlining the commercial rationale for standardisation and mass assembly in the manufacture of floating, rather than fixed, structures.īLUE remains entirely focused on business, brand and communications consultancy for the marine and energy sectors. With this approach, Vidi Energy aims to accelerate the achievement of net-zero targets by standardising and automating current assembly processes: lowering the cost of energy and enabling a faster transition away from fossil fuel energy sources. Its Ready-to-Float turbines represent the future – standardised ready-to-float structures that combine proven wind turbines and commercially-ready floating platforms. Vidi Energy champions and facilitates a renewed approach, encouraging the industry to move away from fixed foundation offshore wind turbines.
With a focus on innovation, and redefining the process of green renewable energy deployment, the company aims to shift the sector away from batch production, to unlock considerable savings in assembly processes and significantly reduce construction schedules. Through our strategic communications activities, BLUE will position the Vidi Energy brand within the burgeoning offshore renewables sector, raising awareness of the prime investment opportunity currently on offer by the firm. A leader in lean manufacturing solutions for the offshore wind sector, the company is revolutionising how green renewable energy is deployed globally. Vidi Energy has chosen BLUE Engage to head up its communications strategy.
