Dear Colleagues

It has been announced today that the City of Glasgow has won the Future Demonstrator City Award from the UK Government.  This is a highly prestigious and competitive prize awarded to a city then expected to provide blueprints for the future integration of leading edge technologies, integrated planning and urban development.  It is worth some £24 million.

The place of Glasgow’s Universities in the citation is very important and points to some major opportunities for education and development.  I hope it is another way of highlighting to particularly our new staff the potential in belonging to this institution.
