SUMMARY:Archaeology Leverhulme Trust Lecture\, The Origins of Farming Communities in the Haidai Region of Northern China: New Discoveries and New Interpretations.
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology Leverhulme Trust Lecture\, The Origins of Farming Communities in the Haidai Region of Northern China: New Discoveries and New Interpretations.\nIn the second lecture in this series\, Professor Guiyun Jin will share fascinating insights of how people living in the Haidai Region of China transitioned from hunter gatherers to settled farmers. Early farmers\, living in the Haidai region thousands of years ago developed intensive farming methods focusing on crops such as rice\, millet and soybean and animals including pigs and dogs. They also farmed high-yield wild fruits and nuts\, rich in starch\, such as hazelnuts\, water chestnut and Gorgon fruit\, whilst hunting water fowl and fish. This\nintensive and mixed subsistence strategy supported high yields and more stability allowing farming communities to become established and leading on to a sophisticated agricultural society as early as the third millennium BC. The main lecture will be followed by a drinks reception in the Archaeology foyer\, all who join us for the lecture are invited to stay for the reception. \nBooking is required and RSVPs for the event need to be directed to events@reading.ac.uk by Wednesday 8th May along with any dietary or access requirements.

SUMMARY:Reading 2050: What is the Future of the Tech Economy in Reading?
DESCRIPTION:Reading has a rich history going back to medieval times and a reputation for change and adaption to economic pressures and technological change. \nLocation and connectivity have been the single most consistent factors in Reading’s economic evolution.  Most reminiscent in Readings economic history is the 3Bs: ‘Beer\, Biscuits\, and Bulbs’ dating back to the 1800s and the industrial revolution. \nMore recently we coined the acronym ‘the 3Is’: IT\, Investment and Insurance. A stark change from the three B’s this is a major transformation from a manufacturing secondary sector economy to a Knowledge based\, tertiary sector economy.  From factories to offices\,  from transporting goods and services by land to transporting deals\, knowledge and information via the internet\, from blue collar  6pm-6pm manual jobs to  white collar 9pm – 5pm and 24 /7 trading. \nEven so the 3Is are evolving  to be more specialist. Energy and life sciences feature widely in our economy.  We are going big scale Microsoft HQ to co working space for entrepreneurs\, we are becoming more niche digi-tech\, fin-tech\, bio-tech nano-tech. \nThis makes for a very interesting future and something we must respond to in planning and regenerating our city especially as the pace of change is becoming more rapid. \nWill place determine our economic landscape or will we simply become a convenient place for the sectors of tomorrow to land and grow?  Can we fuel the future sectors in Reading with people\, places to live and a life style they want? What will the next three letter acronym be to describe Readings economy?  Will it only be three will it be more or less? Does it matter? \nPlease join Nigel Horton-Baker from Reading UK for a lecture: ‘What is the Future of the Tech Economy in Reading?’ \nThe lecture is part of the ‘Economy and Employment’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \n

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Sooner or Later: Shifting the Timing of Electricity Demand
DESCRIPTION:Jacopo Torriti\, Professor of Energy Economics and Policy\, School of the Built Environment \n\n\nWhen we all consume electricity at the same time\, energy suppliers have to activate dirty old power plants with excessive greenhouse gas emissions and high system costs. Shifting the timing of electricity demand is critical for balancing the grid when consumption is high and when there are drops in supply from renewables. However\, little is known about the extent to which pricing and new technologies will enable a higher level of demand-side flexibility. In this inaugural lecture\, Jacopo Torriti presents research on the timing of electricity demand\, peaks\, people’s activities and demand-side flexibility. \nThe lecture is free to attend and open to all. Registration is required in advance by emailing Sue Flanders (s.m.flanders@reading.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:Smart City Cluster in the Thames Valley – How can smart city thinking make a difference in Reading and other parts of the Thames Valley?
DESCRIPTION:Rob McDonald\, Director of Smart Infrastructure at Peter Brett Associates will deliver the next Reading 2050 lecture. Here he outlines the main themes of his presentation. \nWe are living through a time of unprecedented change both in terms of the rate of change in technology but also in the challenges we face. Council budgets are under increasing financial pressure to deliver their core services with worse to come with an aging population and Reading is no exception. At the same time climate has come to the fore and Reading has joined a large number of authorities across the UK in declaring a climate emergency with the aim to be carbon neutral by 2030\, a challenge of a scale which should not be underestimated. \nA smart city approach to thinking needs to be at the core of our response to these challenges\, tackling our big challenges from a wide range of perspectives\, breaking down the silos between specialisms and better engaging with the people who live\, shop and work in our town. Whilst there in an inference that smart cities are all about the technology\, the optimum solution may not be technology led. \n \nReading Borough Council is the lead authority for the Thames Valley Berkshire\, Smart City Cluster project which is acting as a catalyst to accelerate smart city thinking\, building on existing cross authority and cross sector working within the authorities. It is a £1.73m internet of things (IoT) based project funded by Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). This lecture will set out how the project has formed in the way that it has\, balancing the need of the authorities with available funding opportunities. It will set out where we are\, give an overview of the first round of challenges issued to industry and the next steps with the project. \nRob is a Director of Smart Infrastructure at Peter Brett Associates\, now part of Stantec. He has over 25 years of experience in transport planning and ITS with a key focus on research\, innovation and knowledge sharing through UK and European funding. In recent years Rob had developed his focus from intelligent transport systems to a wider smart cities approach\, recognising the need to break out of individual siloes to deliver the places that we want to live in in the future. Rob secured funding and is now leading a LEP funded Smart City Cluster project in Berkshire that will be calling on industry\, in the first instance\, to address challenges around Council services for vulnerable people. Rob is also a keen advocate of embracing disruptive technology changes that will influence the way we travel and is working with his new colleagues in Stantec to bring in their leading-edge experience such as in shared autonomous vehicles. \nThe lecture is part of the ‘Economy and Employment’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events
