East Midlands Global Gateway East Midlands Airport East Midlands Vision 2040
EAST MIDLANDS GLOBAL GATEWAY EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT EAST MIDLANDS VISION 2040 East Midlands Airport will be a leading international innovation hub, connecting the region’s thriving economic network. It will create new business opportunities and up to 10,000 jobs through improved connectivity between the region’s established manufacturing and logistics sectors. Creating a distinct offer with high tech industries, advanced manufacturing and logistics at its heart, East Midlands Airport will capitalise on its location to provide a catalyst for the region to deliver a £500m development and create employment opportunities for its existing and new occupiers. g £500M Total development value j 10,000 New jobs created 2 3 MORE THAN JUST AN AIRPORT The opportunity for growth at East Midlands Airport will begin with short term interventions and developments, working towards the wholesale transformation of the airport providing a nationally significant R&D hub with access to international markets.

The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE
The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity. -

Nottingham University
Case Study Nottingham High-quality infrastructure is an essential component of a modern and successful university. This is not University only achieved by providing an attractive environment in which to work and study. It is also important to maintain leading-edge technology. AEOS fits perfectly in this picture. AEOS can operate different buildings from one central point. The University of Nottingham is renowned for its research innovations. Its system to control access and to secure the facilities no longer reflected its commitment to excellence in the advancement of technology. Over the years, the University acquired several systems for access control, each with their own card technology. Additionally, it had various platforms for its daily operations. Not only was maintaining all these different systems and technologies time-consuming, expensive and complex. It also limited a possible system expansion. Most of all, there was no clear overview of who was authorized to enter the premises and who was not. Time for change! Security Management Facts at a glance 5 Faculties 4 main sites in the UK 2 campuses in Malaysia and China 40,000 students and employees Time for change Rule Engine The University decided that it needed to do The University also concluded to have the extra two things: switch to one single access control AEOS open architecture AEOS functionality Rule Engine. This functionality platform, upgrade the card system and revert to uses predefined rules and data fields that using one single card in the whole University. allows the use of both represent a certain authorization (access level). The reason to go for Nedap’s security system existing and new The Rule Engine checks the rules and data fields AEOS was that it provides all the functionalities against one’s profile and if they match, that person that the University was looking for. -

Midlands Engine State of the Region Executive Summary
MIDLANDS ENGINE STATE OF THE REGION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OCTOBER 2020 Executive Summary Welcome to State of the Region 2020 – the first annual review of economic performance across the Midlands Engine. Our State of the Region report has been produced for the Midlands Engine Partnership by our Observatory. It presents something of a stocktake of where our region stands - what we are doing well and where we need to work together to improve economic performance across the Midlands Engine. The report also highlights the far reaching impact of COVID-19 on our regional economy – a shock we are yet to fully understand but which we are already feeling the effects of. The Midlands is home to almost 11 million people, is responsible for 22% of England’s exports – the greatest share of any region; and generates £239 billion annually for the UK economy. That’s an economy the size of Denmark’s – and a geography serving a greater population than the devolved nations – Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, combined. The region was one of the most prosperous areas of the UK until the 1970s and 1980s. Over the last 5 years it had been experiencing a resurgence of its economic potential, thanks to growth across a wide range of sectors. It is the Midlands which had been bucking the national trend on a host of economic indicators, such as enterprise and employment growth. Much of this was powered by a young, skilled workforce. However, there are both long-term structural challenges and shorter-term shocks which are preventing us reaching our economic and community ambitions – ambitions which see every part of our region prosper and our communities strengthened. -
