  • Annual Report 2015/16
    Annual Report 2015/16 Purpose The aim of the Foundation is: ‘the advancement of education of the public directed towards the promotion, furtherance and dissemination of knowledge of matters associated with the built environment’. We pursue these, where possible, with an emphasis on ‘the multi‐disciplinary nature of design in engineering and architecture’. Chairman’s Statement The year 2015-16 has been very busy with both extensions of existing projects and developing ideas for new and potential projects. Inevitably not all the work developing projects is successful, but when it is it can be the result of many months of work. As well as activities that we have funded (listed at the end of this statement); we were very pleased to be able to extend MADE’s work again for the outstanding educational programme they are providing to make young people aware of a career in the Built Environment professions. We have agreed two other small projects and an agreement to part sponsor an Academic in Residence at the Institution of Civil Engineers to help inform decision making for global solutions. Our financial position is strong, in spite of the continuing economic pressures, and we enter the next year with confidence in continuing the pattern of supporting both short and long term projects. This year we held a Strategic Discussion workshop for about 50 invited guests: The Next 25 Years of The Ove Arup Foundation and we wish to thank everyone who attended for the valuable contributions that they made to make this day a success. We have prepared a report on the discussions and we will be developing and implementing the ideas in the immediate future.

  • Principles for Purposeful Business
    Principles for Purposeful Business Principles for Purposeful Business How to deliver the framework for the Future of the Corporation An agenda for business in the 2020s and beyond 1 Future of the Corporation Front cover Renewable energy generation illustrates the role business can play in investment, research, new technology, skilled work and solutions to the problems of people and planet. © Getty Images 2 Principles for Purposeful Business Foreword The British Academy’s purpose is to deepen understanding of people, societies and cultures, enabling everyone to learn, progress and prosper. Our Fellowship draws on the full range of the human experience – from politics to art, and economics to philosophy. The Future of the Corporation programme could not be a better example of the Academy’s work and its ability to draw on such a wide range of ideas. With this new report, the Academy is setting out the conclusions of our Future of the Corporation research and its extensive deliberations. The programme has made new connections, encouraged debate and developed new insights. By engaging a range of experts, practitioners and leaders from different parts of society and different disciplines, it has been able to bring a comprehensive view of the role of business in society. The Academy’s aim in this is not to make prescriptions or advise business on answers to their specific questions. Rather, by laying out an evidence-base and a set of principles we aim to provide a framework for others to build on. We hope that business leaders and their advisers will use this framework as a starting point to develop new practices, lawmakers as a basis for consultation on legal changes, researchers as a rationale for further research on purposeful business and teachers as a foundation for curricula to provide the new skills needed.

    Edinburgh Tram Inquiry Glossary – 28 August 2017 Purpose 1. The subject matter of the Inquiry involves a large number of acronyms (ie TIE), instances of specialist terminology (ie pre-qualification) and the use of fact specific references (ie Project Carlisle). 2. This obviously presents a challenge to the Inquiry team and to the Core Participants both in understanding what is going on and ensuring a minimum of consistency in the use of acronyms or certain words. The glossary provides some assistance to all in understanding core terms. 3. Parties should bear in mind that some acronyms or terms may be used by different parties to refer to different things (ie FM is used to mean both First Minister and Functional Manager). Where this occurs, the exact meaning will depend on the context and users of this glossary should take steps to clarify the meaning intended in that context. 4. This glossary: a. Can be searched by hitting the Ctrl and F keys and then entering the desired term; and b. Contains a number of internal links between related entries which can be clicked upon. Term Meaning Further information 3PAs Third Party Agreements ACMP Approvals and Consents Management Plan Act of Council A formal decision made by CEC Adjudication A procedure for resolution of disputes by an independent 3rd party (an adjudicator) Advance Works Contract A contract signed in advance of a more major agreement in order to expedite some preparatory or advanced works AFC Anticipated Final Cost AFC Approved for Construction Denotes design drawings approved for

  • Appointments of Five Non-Executive Directors Bring Wealth of Leadership
    Appointments of five Non-Executive Directors bring wealth of leadership experience to CAM delivery company November 27, 2020 Five candidates with a combined wealth of experience delivering major projects, managing big budgets and with a record of exceptional leadership across business and the public sector, have been appointed as Non-Executive Directors of the Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro (CAM) delivery company. Their appointment was confirmed at the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority Board on Wednesday (November 25). They will join the One CAM Limited Board chaired by renowned tunnel engineer Lord Robert Mair CBE. The Mayoral Combined Authority agreed in August to establish the separate company to give the CAM the dedicated resource and expertise needed to deliver a project of its scale and scope. Other major infrastructure schemes, including East West Rail and Crossrail use similar delivery bodies. Mayor James Palmer hailed the appointments as a significant milestone in the establishment of One CAM Limited. An interview panel chaired by Lord Mair interviewed the candidates for the five Non-Executive Director positions. The appointees are: Terry Hill CBE, who is an experienced Non-Executive Chair and Director leading companies in the infrastructure, urban development and transport sectors. He chaired Arup Group for ten years. He said: “The Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro attracts me because it combines innovation and flexibility from the outset. It has the vision and scale to address and meet the region’s ambition and challenges head on. More modest proposals would at best provide short-term relief and support for the region’s transport and economic plans. CAM leaps directly to a long-term solution.

  • Engineering Grand Challenges
    Engineering Grand Challenges Report on outcomes of a retreat – 07 and 08 May 2014 Ettington Chase, Stratford-upon-Avon Foreword Professor Sir Peter Gregson (Chief Executive and Vice- Chancellor, Cranfield University) When EPSRC asked me to chair the Engineering Grand Challenges Retreat, I accepted without hesitation. It was my great pleasure to work with a group of 20 enthusiastic and talented UK Engineers from academia and industry, alongside EPSRC colleagues, at a retreat on 7-8 May 2014 at Ettington Chase, near Stratford-upon-Avon. I was exposed to a great blend of creativity, commitment and intellectual horsepower during the meeting, and this report is a stepping stone towards identifying Engineering Grand Challenges for the next decade. Our work built on that initiated by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), in partnership with the IET and EPSRC, through the Global Grand Challenges Summit 2013. Many of the themes discussed at the Summit (e.g. sustainability, health, resilience, technology, etc.) were considered further during our retreat. EPSRC has also sought views from their UK Strategic University and Business Partners, and their responses were used as an input into the retreat. I was particularly delighted to welcome Lord Alec Broers, who was involved in steering the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges initiative, and who emphasised the need for novel and exciting engineering solutions to the very big challenges of our time. We also heard from Prof Paul Raithby (University of Bath), who leads the EPSRC-funded Directed-Assembly Chemistry Grand Challenge Network, and who provided valuable insights about the impact of the chemistry grand challenges on UK research.
