  • STEM Education Centre E-Bulletin: March 2014
    STEM Education Centre E-bulletin: March 2014 Welcome to the March e-bulletin from the University of Birmingham’s STEM Education Centre. It is designed to provide you with information about STEM-related events, resources, news and updates that may be of interest to you and your colleagues. STEM Policy and Practice News Budget 2014: Alan Turing Institute to lead big data research A £42m Alan Turing Institute is to be founded to ensure that Britain leads the way in big data and algorithm research, George Osborne has announced. Drawing on the name of the British mathematician who led code-breaking work at Bletchley Park during the World War II, the institute is intended to help British companies by bringing together expertise and experience in tackling problems requiring huge computational power. Turing’s work led to the cracking of the German "Enigma" codes, which used highly compl ex encryption, is believed to have saved hundreds or even thousands of lives. He later formed a number of theories that underpin modern computing, and formalised the idea of algorithms – sequences of instructions – for a computer. This announcement marks further official rehabilitation of a scientist who many see as having been treated badly by the British government after his work during the war. Turing, who was gay, was convicted of indecency in March 1952, and lost his security clearance with GCHQ, the successor to Bletchley Park. He killed himself in June 1954. Only after a series of public campaigns was he given an official pardon by the UK government in December 2013. Public Attitudes to Science (PAS) 2014 Public Attitudes to Science (PAS) 2014 is the fifth in a series of studies looking at attitudes to science, scientists and science policy among the UK public.

  • Enabling a World-Leading Regional Digital Economy Through Data Driven Innovation
    ©Jonathan Clark Fine Art, Representatives of the Artist's Estate Enabling a World-Leading Regional Digital Economy through Data Driven Innovation Edinburgh & South East Scotland City Region A Science and Innovation Audit Report sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy MAIN REPORT Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Consortium Foreword In Autumn 2015 the UK Government announced regional Science and Innovation Audits (SIAs) to catalyse a new approach to regional economic development. SIAs enable local Consortia to focus on analysing regional strengths and identify mechanisms to realise their potential. In the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region, a Consortium was formed to focus on our rapidly growing strength in Data-Driven Innovation (DDI). This report presents the results which includes broad-ranging analysis of the City Region’s DDI capabilities, the challenges and the substantial opportunities for future economic growth. Data-led disruption will be at the heart of future growth in the Digital Economy, and will enable transformational change across the broader economy. However, the exact scope, scale and timing of these impacts remains unclear1. The questions we face are simple yet far-reaching – given this uncertainty, is now the right time to commit fully to the DDI opportunity? If so, what are the investments we should make to optimise regional economic growth? This SIA provides evidence that we must take concerted action now to best position the City Region to benefit from the disruptive effects of DDI. If investment is deferred, we run the risk of losing both competitiveness and output to other leading digital clusters that have the confidence to invest.

  • International Symposium on Directors' Liability for Climate Change Damages
    International Symposium on Directors’ Liability for Climate Change Damages Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford 8th June 2016 In Partnership with: International Symposium on Directors’ Liability for Climate Change Damages The Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative (CCLI) is organising a series of high-level international symposia on the legal exposures of company directors for climate change damages. The first symposium will be held at Lady Margaret Hall, a college within the University of Oxford, on the 8th June 2016. Each symposium will facilitate a cross-institutional and cross-jurisdictional exchange of legal thought leadership on director liability risks relevant to plaintiff and defence lawyers, regulators, investors, accountants, and insurers. It is now clear that climate change presents material – if not unparalleled – economic risks and opportunities. The Bank of England’s Prudential Regulation Authority and others have recently warned of the potential liability exposure of company directors for i) their company's contribution to anthropogenic climate change, ii) a failure to adequately manage the risks associated with climate change, and iii) inaccurate disclosure or reporting of these factors. These emerging exposures have implications for corporate governance in climate- risk exposed industries (from financial services to mining, infrastructure, agriculture, and beyond), and for the insurance sector (in terms of professional indemnity and directors' and officers’ insurance). Despite these risks, there remains little in-depth analysis of how prevailing corporate governance laws and fiduciary duties facilitate – or constrain – the actions of company directors confronted with complex climate change challenges. In light of this and related developments, CCLI has been established as a research, education, and outreach project by the University of Oxford's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, HRH The Prince of Wales's Accounting for Sustainability Project, and ClientEarth.
