FEATURES JUBILEE OPEN DAY: SOME REFLECTIONS

ACH Open Day seems to take on its own character. The 1990 event is remembered for temperatures above 20°C, while the Erecord-breaking crowds of 1994 produced a carnival atmosphere. No such records were broken this year, and initial estimates suggest that somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 people visited the University on March 15. They were delighted by the range of events, activities and displays available to inform and entertain them. We have never judged the success of Open Days solely by the numbers attending. The quality of the experience is just as important, and we scored highly on this count. Families particularly appreciated the structuring of the programme to make clear the age ranges for which events were suitable. There were 149 scheduled events and over 300 activities and displays; many visitors had difficulty deciding between competing attractions — a sure sign of a successful programme. The Ermine Street Guard were predictably a great success, and the ‘Chemistry is Fun’ demonstrations retain their universal appeal. We are also grateful to Malcolm Bradbury for delivering the Celebrity Lecture to an appreciative audience. This Open Day fell in the middle of a busy Jubilee Year, which has some blockbuster events still to come. For those interested in numbers, total attendances at events (including Open Day) listed to date in the First and Second Season Jubilee Year Programmes are, on a rough and ready calculation, around 23,000. Thanks are due to everyone involved in Open Day; the time and effort are rewarded by all our visitors being better informed about the work we do. As a teaching and research university of international standing, we re- affirm our roots in the City of Leicester and County of Leicestershire at such events.

(Professor Robin White, Pro-Vice-Chancellor)

This has created a whole new field of plasma physics, in which the Leicester group has played a leading role. Major studies, both experimental and theoretical, of the properties of surfaces have been undertaken by our Condensed Matter Physics group. Outstanding new results have been produced by the Theory group, using the application of RHEED. Experimental studies of surfaces have been undertaken at the Synchrotron Radiation source at Daresbury laboratory. In this field, the development of muon spectroscopy is a unique contribution by this group. Three years ago, a new Earth Observation Science unit was formed, and has since been successful in developing an MSc course in Earth Observation Science. This group carries out cross disciplinary research into the properties of the Earth and the oceans from space, paying particular attention to ocean waves and the interaction between the sea surface and the atmosphere. The latest exciting development, the Department’s Space Centre, will house the Space Management and Technology groups, and will provide the technological services for all space missions within the Department, and other departments within the University. New projects are currently being undertaken on behalf of the X-ray Astronomy, Radio and Space Plasma Physics and Earth Observation Science groups. Professor T B Jones
