That would be a formidable challenge for any institution but it is the one which Glyndwˆr University has taken up readily and adopted at the core of its own strategic development. Having been established at the start of the worst economic crisis in decades, it was inevitable that Glyndwˆr University would be shaped by the recession and the country’s response to it. Universities have an important role in any economic recovery and both the Assembly and UK Governments The University moved its growing research in composite have made it very clear what they expect of the university materials into a new Training and Development Centre, sector - closer collaboration with industry and the creation operated jointly with Airbus. of a highly skilled and versatile workforce. Both of these expectations are fundamental to Glyndwˆr University. It has extensive links with industry and through them has helped and is continuing to help many businesses overcome problems caused by the economic downturn. It has an excellent employment record for its graduates and many employers actively seek out Glyndwˆr University graduates for their high level of skills. Reshaping the North Wales Economy The University has attracted considerable investment into science and technology in North Wales with the potential for a fundamental reshaping of the Welsh economy as new well- paid employment opportunities open up. It has created new Glyndwˆr University scientists are building prototype mirrors partnerships and strengthened existing ones with multimillion for ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope pound developments in industrially based research and it has linked a wide range of economically important initiatives under a single strategy for economic recovery. 4 annual review 09/10 Glyndwˆr University was never intended to be an ivory tower, implement, Glyndwˆr University has pursued actively the strategy concentrating on theory or blue skies research. Rather it was with exciting initiatives at the sites along the A55 identified for always going to be an active participant and partner in the further development. social, cultural and economic development of North Wales. In These initiatives vary from the ESO Extremely Large Telescope every aspect of our society, in both public and private sectors, at St Asaph, through the new land based provision offered at the the University has sought not only to provide the intellectual University’s facility in Northop to the joint Advanced Composite raw materials necessary for social and economic growth but Materials Training and Development Centre with Airbus in also to act as a facilitator, bringing complementary talents and Broughton, the Centre for the Child and the Creative Industries resources together. building in Wrexham.

Rather consequential increases in the skills level of the local workforce. than merely producing the strategy and leaving it to others to annual review 09/10 5 Leading North Wales out of the Recession The Northop site has seen new academic programmes developed and two buildings significantly refurbished. Plans are being drawn up for a further expansion of research activities in Flintshire. Students on programmes at Northop have already started making an important contribution to the image and profile of the University in new areas as they win important RHS prizes for their design work. The long relationship between the University and Airbus has developed further with the University’s growing expertise in composite materials which led to the opening of the new Training and Development Centre at Broughton operated jointly with Airbus. The two Wrexham capital developments are also integral to the University’s continuing links with industry and the professions. The First Minister of Wales Rt. Hon Carwyn Jones AM during The Creative Industries Building scheduled for completion in a visit to the university’s research centre in St Asaph March 2011 will bring together practitioners in many varied fields of the creative industries sector, while the Centre for the Child and Family scheduled for completion in March 2011, will provide a focal point for the many disciplines surrounding all aspects of a child’s development. At the heart of the University’s strategy, therefore, are its links with industry: getting students into employment; ensuring employers have a suitably skilled workforce; giving businesses the competitive edge through research or consultancies; and bringing greater efficiencies to the public sector. Strength in Partnership Much of the high profile research undertaken in the UK today is funded by the Research Councils. With a combined budget of £2.8 billion the seven Councils account for approximately 70% of all universities’ research income. Traditionally and Work started on a new creative industries building increasingly the Councils have favoured the large traditional research intensive universities for their investment. The result of this is that the smaller, industrially relevant research is funded by the businesses themselves and much of it is conducted by the smaller, more locally based universities in partnership with businesses. Partnership is an important part of everything the University does. Indeed all the work undertaken by Glyndwˆr University in the development of new programmes, in research and increasingly in the University’s administration is in partnership with other educational providers, with industry or the public 6 annual review 09/10 sector. 23% of the University’s research income currently based education.

    GWASANAETH RHAGLENNI CYMRAEG Drama Ein hamcan yw cynnig cyfres ddrama estynedig (tri chwarter awr neu awr o hyd) bob nos Sul ynghyd ag o leiaf un, os nad dwy, gyfres hanner awr yn ystod corff yr wythnos, yn ogystal ag ‘opera sebon’. Llwyddwyd eleni i gyflwyno arlwy oedd yn cyfuno’r newydd a’r traddodiadol, y dwys a’r ysgafn – gan gynnwys cyfresi newydd sbon ynghyd â nifer o gyfresi a oedd yn dychwelyd. Cyfres ffug wyddonol oedd Arachnid (Elidir) gyda chryfderau mawr o ran gwaith cyfrifiadurol gwreiddiol, cyfarwyddo llawn dychymyg a stori gymhleth ddifyr. Roedd yn braf edrych ar ddrama ‘sci-fi’ Gymraeg a oedd yn argyhoeddi. Cymhlethdodau bod yn wraig ifanc â dyheadau cyfoes tra’n byw yng nghefn gwlad yn wraig i weinidog, oedd canolbwynt y gyfres ddychmygus Fondue, Rhyw a Deinosors (HTV). Denodd ymateb a oedd yn pegynnu’r gynulleidfa gyda llawer yn ei mwynhau yn arw iawn tra oedd eraill yn wrthwynebus i’w chynnwys a’i harddull. Cafwyd cyfres ardderchog o Amdani (Nant) - sy’n seiliedig ar helyntion tîm rygbi merched - a ddenodd ymateb gwerthfawrogol dros ben. Dwy gyfres arall boblogaidd a ddychwelodd oedd Iechyd Da (Bracan), a oresgynnodd newidiadau gorfodol yn y cast sylfaenol yn llwyddiannus, a Talcen Caled (Nant) sy’n llwyddo i gynnwys cryn dipyn o hiwmor er gwaethaf y cefndir teuluol a chymdeithasol tywyll. Cyfres yn seiliedig ar nofel Marion Eames am y Crynwyr ym Meirionnydd yn yr ail ganrif ar bymtheg oedd Y Stafell Ddirgel (Llifon/HTV). Denodd ymateb ffafriol gan wylwyr yn enwedig wrth i’r gyfres fynd yn ei blaen, er efallai nad oedd y gyfres drwyddi draw mor llwyddiannus â dramâu cyfnod eraill o’r un stabl.
