George Freeman MP Minister for Life Sciences Presents The Innovation Awards 2016

Tuesday 21st June 6.30pm onwards

Hosted by High

Programme of Events for the Evening Norfolk Way 2016 Innovation Awards

fter the enormous success of the inaugural awards Alast year, and with winners from across all the Norfolk schools, I am thrilled and delighted to welcome all of you tonight.

For too long, I believe Norfolk has been regarded as a rural backwater, in education and in particular the all- important STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects.

If we are going to unlock the full potential of Norfolk’s young people and equip them to success in the increasingly competitive global economy, and to seize and benefit from the growing opportunities on their doorstep here in the Eastern Region, then we must do all we can to promote the spirit of innovation and enterprise in our area and encourage the next generation. I am delighted that through these awards supported by and in conjunction with some of the leading businesses and skill agencies in our area, we are celebrating the best and inspiring the rest by rewarding the best examples of science and innovation in schools and colleges.

Together, we will help build a network of Norfolk enterprise and innovation to help power the Norfolk Economy for the 21st Century.

We are delighted to host this year’s Norfolk Innovation Awards at Wymondham High Academy Trust. We have been great supporters of the innovation awards since their conception by Mr George Freeman in 2015. The awards set out a philosophy of constructing a world class modern and competitive local economy which aligns so closely with our own values. It is our belief that by being on the cutting edge of technology, our students will position themselves to seize the very best opportunities for future success.

Norfolk’s young people are amazing and these awards acknowledge their great commitment to their studies and their many successes and achievements, as well as highlighting the potential of these fantastic young people across the county.

I would like to thank all of those who have supported the delivery of this great evening and a special thanks to our music and food technology departments whose contributions you will enjoy as the evening continues.

May I wish you an enjoyable evening of celebration.

Lifetime Achievement Award for outstanding services to Science, Technology and Innovation in Norfolk

Sir Paul Nurse, geneticist

Sir Paul Nurse was born in Norfolk, where his parents were from, and was raised in London where he attended Harrow County .

Sir Paul said:

“I was never very good at exams, having a poor memory and finding the examination process rather artificial, and there never seemed to be enough time to follow up things that really inter- ested me. But there were good things about the school. I had an excellent Biology teacher, Keith Neal, who encouraged his pupils to study natural history and to do real experiments. As a geneticist and cell biologist, Sir Paul’s discoveries have helped to explain how the cell controls its cycle of growth and division. Working in fission yeast, he showed that the cdc2 gene encodes a protein kinase, which ensures the cell is ready to copy its DNA and divide. Paul’s findings have broader significance since errors in cell growth and division may lead to cancer and other serious diseases.”
