Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low. Examples of risks to which this Plan would apply: • Loss or restriction of University status or its degree awarding powers or its designation for student support or student intake; • Decision to close the institution, a campus or a specialist facility; • Long term disruption to your course

    Newsletter: Special Issue Connected Everything Conference 2018 Manufacturing a Brave New World Newcastle University, 26th and 27th June 2018 Connected Everything's second annual conference was hosted by Newcastle University's School of Computing in its newest and smartest building - the Urban Sciences Building (USB). The 2018 conference brought together people from 41 institutions, including representatives from industry, Research Technology Organisations such as the HVM Catapult and TWI, and people from as far afield as the USA, Singapore, Australia and China. In total, 92 delegates spent two days enjoying presentations and stimulating discussions about the current challenges in digital manufacturing. 30 posters were on display in the atrium. The venue, USB, is part of Newcastle Helix, a unique urban development focused on research and innovation in tech businesses. The site has been built to serve as laboratories and act as an urban repository, with sensors around the city feeding data into the building. It could hardly have been a more fitting venue for the conference. This Special Issue of the Connected Everything Newsletter provides links to presenters' slides, which are given below in a sequence consistent with the conference proceedings. Available slides can also be viewed on the Connected Everything website, along with the conference programme, abstract booklet and the posters displayed at the event. We look forward to convening once again at Connected Everything's next annual conference, which will take place at the Jubilee Conference
