Lunch with Professor David Ewins, Pro Rector (International Relations)

On 10 March 2002, Sunday, board members and former board members had lunch with Professor David Ewins, Pro Rector for International Relations who came to Japan for public relations about the research activities of Imperial College, and with Mr Ferrar, First Secretary of British Embassy.

Professor Ewins told us about the strategy of Imperial College, which is to reorganise its research activities into four areas, Engineering, Life Sciences, Medicine, and Physical Sciences supported by the Business School and College staff, and to focus on more practical outcome by cross-collaboration among these four areas with industries.

New Rector, Sir Richard Sykes who is a former chairman of Glaxo, seems to be keen to introduce a corporate operation into the College operation focussing more on collaboration with industries or on spin-out from the College.
