It is always difficult to capture in such am pleased to introduce the 05 Our research University’s annual review for the a publication the essence, energy and I academic year 2013-2014. This has been another highly successful year for sheer excellence that underpins a Bristol across the whole spectrum of 19 A global institution university like Bristol – its leading-edge our activities. research, its highly talented and driven One such measure of these 22 Working in partnership achievements is shown in our students and staff. This is no easy task continued upward trajectory in the and I hope that we have managed to global university rankings, placing 24 Education and the student experience Bristol among the world’s most convey perhaps a snapshot of what, prestigious institutions. As a truly global university, we have a positive in my view, makes Bristol such an impact on many people’s lives all over 28 Our students exceptional university. the world and this is a position of privilege which we most certainly do not take for granted. 30 Honorary degrees

On a personal note, this is the last Review of the Year that I will introduce, 31 Investing in our estate as I step down as Vice-Chancellor in August 2015. I look back at the University’s many achievements over my years as Vice-Chancellor with 32 Bristol alumni immense pride. Bristol is recognised globally for the quality of its research and teaching and this is testament to 33 Philanthropy the significant talent and dedication of my colleagues across the institution.

The latest University Annual Report and Financial Statements Over the last year the University has are available at www.bristol.ac.uk/finance/statements/ continued to attract, and modestly increase in number, high-achieving undergraduate and postgraduate students. It has continued to address the most pressing global issues through its research and it has continued to invest significantly in its estate in order to remain at the leading edge.

All of this places Bristol in a highly enviable and strong position to be able to face the opportunities and challenges ahead with absolute confidence, and to remain true to its vision of being a world-class university.

Breath has traditionally been seen as what connects spirit and body and it is strongly affected by mood and emotion.

Scientists from Bristol’s School of Mathematics, including Professor Tanniemola Liverpool, claim that by understanding how an artificial ‘synthetic swimmer’ can be made and driven, and how such swimmers behave in large groups, a better drug control system to cure cancer can be developed.

// The discovery of the Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus suggests all dinosaurs could have been feathered Computing and Health Sciences cyber security

More secure computing could be one // Groundbreaking research at Bristol on cooling babies who've suffered from perinatal asphyxiation has been hailed as revolutionary step closer thanks to a breakthrough in cryptography by the University of Bristol and Denmark’s Aarhus University. The academics worked together to develop the SPDZ protocol (pronounced ‘speedz’), the fastest protocol known to implement a theoretical idea called ‘multi-party computation’, which allows two or more people to compute a function on their secret inputs without revealing their inputs to anybody else – for example, when voters wish their vote to be counted but don’t want their decision to be made public.

The SPDZ protocol turns this theoretical idea into a practical reality, allowing the team to compute complex functions in a secure manner, enabling possible applications in the finance, drugs and chemical industries.

The University currently has two University Research Institutes whose remit is to address some of the world’s most challenging issues by bringing together leading academics from a wide variety of fields from across the University and beyond. Both foster interdisciplinary research on an ambitious scale in recognition of the fact that humankind increasingly needs creative and innovative solutions in order to address its most pressing problems.
