    Maxwell Centre Report 2018/19 “ The Maxwell Centre acts as a super-connector for the University ecosystem. Its programme provides access to expertise across disciplines, building partnerships and facilitating industry collaborations with the University of Cambridge world-leading researchers. The unique combination of discovery science, solution engineering and business insight enables the Maxwell Centre community to tackle global challenges.” Professor Andy Neely, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Enterprise and Business Relations 2 Maxwell Centre Report 2018/19 | www.maxwell.cam.ac.uk From the Director As the Maxwell Centre Director since the beginning on 2019 I would like to start by paying testament to my predecessor, Professor Sir Richard Friend. Populating a new building with such a diverse, effective and connected community is no mean feat and it is clear to me that it is Richard's vision, supported by Dr Aga Iwasiewicz-Wabnig and the Maxwell team, that has made Maxwell what it is today. Prof Sir Mark Welland My task in the next couple of years will be to ensure that FRS FREng FIET FInstP Maxwell Centre becomes an established and integrated Director, Maxwell Centre activity that offers a creative space for the best of Cambridge research to interact with the commercial world, nurturing new ideas so that they can grow into long term University-industry collaborations across Cambridge. To this end we are currently developing a long term strategic plan that will build on the excellence that is Maxwell today ensuring that it can best meet the needs

  • Cambridge Public Policy
    Centre for Science and Policy The Sciences and Technology in the Service of Society Annual Report, 2011 Dr David Cleevely, Founding Director and Dr Chris Tyler, Executive Director December 2011 The Centre for Science and Policy provides a unique pathway between academic research and public policy. By providing a neutral platform for debate and discussion, CSaP has enabled the development of many productive connections between researchers in the sciences and engineering and policy makers in government and industry. 2011 has seen the launch and expansion of our flagship Policy Fellowships Programme, and the delivery of many influential Policy Workshops, Distinguished Lectures and Professional Development Policy Seminars. In addition, the Centre has continued its support for Cambridge Public Policy and the establishment of a Master’s in Public Policy, and taken its first steps towards developing a research programme on the relationship between science and policy making. Centre for Science and Policy Third Annual Report (December 2011) Contents The Centre for Science and Policy in 2011 02 Themes 05 Policy Fellowships Programme 08 Policy Workshops 12 Professional Development 14 Lecture Series 16 Cambridge Public Policy 18 Science and Policy Research 21 Executive Committee 22 Associate Fellows 23 The Team 24 Financial Report – Year to 31 July 2011 25 A Note of Thanks 26 The Centre for Science and Policy in 2011 Dr David Cleevely FREng, Founding Director, and Dr Chris Tyler, Executive Director Connections between research and policy have never been more important. Meeting global and national challenges – from climate change to growth in the economy – relies heavily on advances in knowledge and technology; as a result, national governments and multinational institutions around the world are looking for better ways to interact with the research base and to achieve greater impact from the work that is done there.
