Annual Report - Euro-CASE

Annual Report
2010/2011

Strategic Priorities
As Britain’s national academy for engineering, we bring together the
country’s most eminent engineers from all disciplines to promote excellence
in the science, art and practice of engineering. Our strategic priorities
are to enhance the UK’s engineering capabilities, to celebrate excellence
and inspire the next generation, and to lead debate by guiding informed
thinking and influencing public policy.
The Academy’s work programmes are driven by three strategic priorities,
each of which provides a key contribution to a strong and vibrant
engineering sector and to the health and wealth of society.
Enhancing national
capabilities
As a priority, we encourage,
support and facilitate links between
academia and industry. Through
targeted national and international
programmes, we enhance –
and reflect abroad – the UK’s
performance in the application
of science, technology transfer, and
the promotion and exploitation of
innovation. We support high quality
engineering research, encourage
an interdisciplinary ethos, facilitate
international exchange and provide
a means of determining and
disseminating best practice. In
particular, our activities focus on
complex and multidisciplinary
areas of rapid development.
Recognising excellence
and inspiring the next
generation
Excellence breeds excellence. We
celebrate engineering excellence
and use it to inspire, support and
challenge tomorrow’s engineering
leaders. We focus our initiatives to
develop excellence and, through
creative and collaborative activity,
we demonstrate to the young,
and those who influence them,
the relevance of engineering
to society.
Leading debate
Using the leadership and expertise
of our Fellowship, we guide
informed thinking, influence public
policy making, provide a forum
for the mutual exchange of ideas,
and pursue effective engagement
with society on matters within
our competence. The Academy
advocates progressive, forwardlooking
solutions based on
impartial advice and quality
foundations, and works
to enhance appreciation of the
positive role of engineering and
its contribution to the economic
strength of the nation.

Leading Debate
The Academy engages in a wide range of activities promoting links
between engineering, government and wider society. The Academy seeks
to build relations with policy makers nationally and globally to ensure
that engineering is at the heart of policy making in crucial areas such as
climate change, health and security. It also encourages debate and dialogue
between engineers and the wider public to ensure that engineering is
visible to society and sensitive to its opinions and concerns.

Re-engineering aid – a bold agenda
for the 21st century. Sir Richard’s
lecture introduced the audience to
his ideas for a new model for aid.
The plan recommended a new focus
on non-development aid, a need to
innovate financially, a scaling up of
aid to global public goods, support
for very small countries and the
fostering of the next generation
of leaders.
On 22 February 2011, Dr Peter
Collins, Director of the Royal
Society Centre for History of
Science addressed an audience of
Academy Fellows on The pre-history
of the Fellowship of Engineering.
Dr Collins’ research was based on
a range of largely unpublished
archival sources and he discussed
how the Royal Society responded
to the prospect of an additional
academy and how the Fellowship
of Engineering came into being. He
mentioned the roles played by key
Fellows of the Royal Society and the
careful and effective interventions
of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
On 1 March 2011, Steve Holliday
FREng, Group Chief Executive
of National Grid, delivered the
Academy Lecture Power to the
People. He outlined to the audience
the crucial decisions that need to
be made in the coming years in
order to deliver low carbon energy
for the UK. Steve Holliday said
that the UK faces a pivotal year
as decisions need to be made on
replacing critical assets, many of
which are now 50 years old. He
explained that the UK needs a new
infrastructure that will enable it to
cut carbon dioxide levels by a third,
ahead of a 2020 deadline.
On 14 March 2011, Professor
Jose Torero-Cullen FREng FRSE,
BRE/RAEng Chair in Fire Safety
Engineering and Director of the BRE
Centre for Fire Safety Engineering
gave the 2011 joint lecture between
the Royal Society of Edinburgh and
the Academy. Professor Torero-Cullen
addressed the audience on the
topic of The Twin Towers: 10 years - 10
Lessons on Sustainable Infrastructure
and extracted 10 lessons learnt from
a decade of questioning and research
post 9/11.
Prime Innovator Lectures
On 27 September 2010, the
Academy hosted the first of a short
series of Prime Innovator Lectures.
The first guest speaker Alex Burns,
Chief Executive Officer of Williams
F1, talked about An Obsession
with Speed. Alex Burns, who is
responsible for implementing the
group’s diversification strategy,
gave an insight into the operational
management of the Formula 1 team.
On 19 October 2010, the
second Prime Innovator lecture
Commercialising meaning based
computing was given by Dr Mike
Lynch OBE FREng, Chief Executive
Officer of Autonomy and a
technology entrepreneur. He talked
about how to create industryshifting
commercial success and to
encourage and manage innovation.
The lecture concluded with some
thoughts on future directions and
lessons for innovation in the UK.
At the third lecture, given on 24
November 2010, Professor Sir
Martin Sweeting OBE FREng FRS,
Executive Chairman of Surrey Satellite
Technology Ltd, delivered a lecture
on Changing the economics of Space.
This drew attention to the huge
scope of modern ‘microsatellites’
which are able to dramatically reduce
the size, cost and manufacturing
times of small and highly capable
satellites, fundamentally changing
the economics of space.
At the fourth lecture on 24 January
2011, Tristram Carfrae, structural
engineer, Principal and Arup Fellow,
discussed the characteristics of
creative people and how Arup
cultivates creativity and innovation
within a risk averse context. In
Encouraging Innovative Engineering
he referred to some projects that
he helped create, most notably the
Beijing National Swimming Centre,
also known as the Water Cube,
recipient of the 2009 MacRobert
Award.
On 1 February 2011, in the final
lecture of the series, Semiconductor
technology with molecules, the
polymer pioneer Professor Sir Richard
Friend FREng FRS talked about the
challenges of introducing radical
innovation into the manufacturing
environment. Sir Richard laid out
how scientific innovation can be
developed to have commercial
applications, drawing on his
experience as co-founder of a trio
of university spin out companies
– Cambridge Display Technology,
which received the Academy’s
MacRobert Award in 2002, Plastic
Logic and Eight-19.
Vodafone Lectures
On 1 June 2010, the second lecture of
the fourth Vodafone series was given
by Professor Brian Collins CB FREng,
Chief Scientific Adviser to DfT & BIS.
The lecture examined The engineering
of intelligent transport systems and
services and Professor Collins told
the audience that the technology
that contributes to intelligent
transport systems and services has
now reached a level of maturity that
permits consideration of real nationalscale
applications. The drive to reduce
carbon emissions from transport,
while at the same time reducing
congestion, preserving individual
freedom of choice to travellers
and reducing costs of transport
