Event Description
Creating a Science University for South Wiltshire
“In January David Willetts announced his intention to encourage the formation of Science Universities to meet the challenges of the years ahead. Wiltshire has no university of its own. It does, however, have a remarkable number of world-class bio-scientists working at Porton Down and in the District Hospital, which is heavily engaged in genetic research. In this sense Salisbury is already a Science City.
We welcome the possibility of working in partnership to create a 21st century institution that operates in new ways to meet the challenges and opportunities of the years ahead.”
John Potter, RSA Fellow Salisbury

Nearly 30 people are signed up to come but it would be great to get a lot more. Whether you want to hear about and perhaps sign up to be involved in the project to create a new University in Salisbury, or whether you want to develop and explore ideas about how Universities will change, for better or worse, as we grow into the 21st Century, come along and join in this highly participatory event. Hope to see you there but please sign up by the end of the week as we need to know catering numbers. Thanks, Graham Rawlinson

With many of us facing an ever greater pace of change in our personal and working lives, leadership adviser and educator Richard Gerver reveals how to adapt and thrive - not to fear change but to see it as an opportunity for creative reinventionFrom the digital divide to inclusive innovation: the case of digital money
