Alumni Dingwall achievements Supporting SRUC Alumni SRUC students @SRUCAlumni 2 SRUC Community to the second edition Welcome of SRUC Community, the Alumni and Friends magazine. This year SRUC launched its new strategy, setting out the direction it will take to better serve Scotland’s rural communities and economy. To fulfil this potential and realise our ambition we need confidence, imagination and creativity, together with a willingness to change the way we work, operate and think as a sustainable institution. This is at the heart of our strategy and involves everyone at, and with a stake in, SRUC. I have been delighted with the level of engagement with our new strategy following its launch in April. I sincerely thank all those who took the time to attend a discussion meeting and/or send in their feedback. Around 900 colleagues, students and stakeholders, including alumni and former staff, attended the 21 meetings we held across the country, while nearly 250 additional written communications were submitted. The range of views expressed was diverse and inspiring. Our key drivers to make this all happen lies in the 5 “I”s: integration; international; industry-facing; innovation for impact; and inspiring. I think you will see many of these “I” themes running through SRUC Community. The Alumni Team is always keen New to hear from our alumni and friends, so please do get in touch jobs with them, update them with your reunions and stories, to help create website! an inspiring alumni community.

  • Going for Gold at Nice: Assessing the EU's Form
    Going for Gold at Nice: Assessing the EU’s Form Institute Européen d’Administration Publique European Institute of Public Administration Rethinking the Crossing the Bridge of Size: European Union IGC 2000 and Beyond Reaching a Deal at Nice Edited by Edward Best Mark Gray Dr Edward Best Alexander Stubb Head of Unit I: European Governance and Policy Processes, EIPA Abstract The Intergovernmental Conference which should conclude at Nice in December 2000 deals with issues of institutional reform which must be resolved before proceeding with enlargement. There are four main questions. Should all countries be able to name a Member of the European Commission, or should the number of Commissioners be ‘capped’ at a number lower than the number of Member States? How should the weighting of Member States’ votes in the Council be adjusted to ensure that winning coalitions under qualified-majority voting represent an adequate proportion of the total EU population – as well as to ‘compensate’ those five Member States which lose their second Commissioner? How far should qualified-majority voting be extended? Should the conditions for ‘closer cooperation’ be relaxed to make it easier to press ahead with integration in particular areas without the participation of all Member States? A deal must be reached at Nice, but the IGC has revealed serious differences between the Member States. There is likely to be an agreement: for one Commissioner per Member State, probably with an internal hierarchy; a significant re- weighting of votes in favour of the big Member States; a moderate extension of qualified-majority voting; and at least the removal of the veto regarding closer cooperation.

    After the Gold Rush A sustainable Olympics for London Edited by Anthony Vigor, Melissa Mean and Charlie Tims After the Gold Rush A sustainable Olympics for London Edited by Anthony Vigor, Melissa Mean and Charlie Tims The Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr) is the UK’s leading progressive think tank and was established in 1988. Its role is to bridge the political divide between the social democratic and liberal traditions, the intellectual divide between academia and the policy making establishment and the cultural divide between government and civil society. It is first and foremost a research institute, aiming to provide innovative and credible policy solutions. Its work, the questions its research poses and the methods it uses are driven by the belief that the journey to a good society is one that places social justice, democratic participation and economic and environmental sustainability at its core. For further information you can contact ippr’s external affairs department on [email protected], you can view our website at www.ippr.org and you can buy our books from Central Books on 0845 458 9910 or email [email protected]. Demos is a greenhouse for new ideas which can improve the quality of our lives. As an independent think tank, we aim to create an open resource of knowledge and learning that operates beyond traditional party politics. We connect researchers, thinkers and practitioners to an international network of people changing politics.
