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.
