SUMMARY:The Private Sector and Global Nutrition: Are Businesses Heroes or Villains?
DESCRIPTION:Alumni Lecture \nProfessor Lawrence Haddad\, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition \nThe University of Reading is proud to announce that the next event in the inspirational Alumni Lecture Series will feature alumnus Professor Lawrence Haddad (BSc Food Science and Food Education\, 1980). \nLawrence is a British economist who has forged an influential career in food\, agriculture and nutrition. He is currently Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). In 2018 Lawrence was co-recipient of the prestigious World Food Prize for “extraordinary intellectual and policy leadership in bringing maternal and child nutrition to the forefront of the global food security agenda and thereby significantly reducing childhood stunting”. \nOne in three people globally are malnourished. If we keep doing what we are doing\, we will fall far short of the global goals the world has set for 2030. How to change the dynamic? One glaring gap is the public sector’s failure to engage the private sector properly to help advance nutrition. Most people buy their food\, even in poorer countries\, and in doing so they are engaging the private sector. So ignoring businesses is not an option. But engaging them sensibly is also not easy. Which companies\, in which circumstances\, and for which population groups? How do maximise positives and avoid negatives? Businesses are part of the problem of malnutrition\, but also have to be a bigger part of the solution. This talk outlines some of the ways to stimulate this transition of the private sector from sometime villains to frequent heroes.

SUMMARY:Biscuits to Big Tech: Reading's rise to economic prosperity
DESCRIPTION:University Public Lecture Series \nProfessor Kathy Pain (Real Estate and Planning): Biscuits to Big Tech: Reading’s rise to economic prosperity \nReading was once a sleepy county town famed for its ‘beer\, biscuits and bulbs’ but today it is a hub for high-tech industry with international links. How did it get that way and how can we make sure its economic success continues? \nIn this lecture\, Professor Kathy Pain will explore the town’s rise to prosperity and the future sustainability problems facing densely developed urban regions like Reading. She will draw on her research which shows how investing in so-called ‘good density’ – well-designed and compact cities with affordable public transport; available jobs and talent; and ‘green and blue infrastructure’ such as hedgerows and waterways – could help secure Reading’s future success in a changing economic landscape. \nKathy Pain is Professor of Real Estate Development at the University of Reading\, Henley Business School. Her research focuses on sustainable city and regional development\, governance and planning in today’s interconnected world economy. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Methods for Random Matrix Theory and Applications: LMS-CMI Research School
DESCRIPTION:LMS-CMI Research School\nMethods for Random Matrix Theory and Applications \nOrganised by the London Mathematical Society and the Clay Mathematics Institute\, this research school is aimed at postgraduate students and at interested mathematicians\, both in the UK and abroad. \nRandom matrix theory (RMT) is a crossroad of modern mathematics. It brings together and provides a platform for fusing the ideas of such diverse areas as the theory of special functions\, orthogonal polynomials\, complex analysis\, operator theory\, representation of affine algebras and quantum group\, enumerative topology\, combinatorics\, number theory\, exactly solvable quantum models\, quantum chaos and string theory. Simultaneously\, RMT plays an increasingly important role in many applied sciences and technologies. Indeed\, the distributions of random matrix theory govern statistical properties of the large systems which do not obey the usual laws of classical probability. \nThough the random matrices  have been long studied for their applications to multivariable statistics since the work of Wishart and in physics for its application to the level-spacing of highly excited energy levels of nuclei since the work of Wigner\, Dyson and others\, there has in recent years been a renewed significant interest in this subject. Some of the main reasons for this are: (a) The discovery that a large class of random matrix models are related to completely integrable systems of differential equations of both the Painlevé type  and those of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP); (b) The relation of the theory of random matrices to the theory of Hankel and Toeplitz determinants; (c) The development of the novel technique – the Riemann-Hilbert method\, which yields the solution of a number of the long-standing problems in the field; (d) The discovery of the remarkable fact that the random matrices and the nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs demonstrate  the same universal features at the relevant critical  and transition regimes. These topics as well as some other important aspects of random matrix theory will be covered in the three lecture courses (five hours each) and in the invited lectures (one hour each). \n  \n11 to 15 May 2020 at the University of Reading\nFunded by the London Mathematical Society\, the Clay Mathematics Institute and the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research\nOrganized by Igor Krasovsky and Jani A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Indicators of changing climate risk in the UK - Professor Nigel Arnall
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend here \nAbstract: \nIn order to increase resilience to climate change it is necessary to understand climate risks and how they are likely to change in the future. This seminar presents a summary of the Climate Risk Indicators project (involving the University of Reading\, CEH Wallingford and the University of Leeds)\, which is calculating a series of indicators relevant to policymakers in the UK at national and local levels. The selected indicators represent a range of thresholds for decisions and consequences across many sectors\, including water resources\, flooding\, transport\, health\, agriculture and emergency planning. The indicators are calculated with UKCP18 climate projections\, and presented both for low and high emissions and at different levels of forcing\, and are presented at a range of spatial scales. The seminar will describe the indicators and their uses in policy.  \nThis is the first in a series of webinars organised by the UK Climate Resilience Programme – see the full programme.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Class Ceiling in UK Publishing: Online talk with Professor Katy Shaw
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this talk on class in contemporary publishing with Professor Katy Shaw (Northumbria University) \nA Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing  event \nThe under-representation of British working-class writers in UK publishing has been identified as a major social and economic challenge by major publishers and the British government. In 2018 Arts Council England funded the first ever writing development programme aimed at redressing the balance for working-class writers. This talk evaluates the impact of this unique initiative on both creatives and the creative industries in the UK\, as well as on wider industry awareness of the presence and impact of the class ceiling in UK publishing. It assesses for the first time the impact of a targeted class-based writing development programme on creatives and the creative industries in the UK\, as well as on professional awareness of the challenge posed by the class ceiling in the wider UK creative industries today\, and proposes new initiatives and recommendations arising from the research through implications for writers\, readers and the future sustainability of British publishing in a post-Brexit context. \nPlease join the conversation here through Microsoft Teams with video off and on mute. We will use the chat function for questions and debate.

SUMMARY:Symposium in Quantitative and Modelling Skills in Ecology and Evolution
DESCRIPTION:The annual Symposium in Quantitative and Modelling Skills in Ecology and Evolution in a wholly online format (ergo\, the “QMEE CDT Webposium”). First session is 11 June 2020 (three more sessions one day a week for the next three weeks). \nThis is part of our Training and Cohort building program\, providing an opportunity for CDT students\, supervisors\, and other academics to interact\, and for students to get feedback on their projects. \nIn particular\, the latest CDT cohort will present the results of their Training Mini-Project in a series of talks\, while a set of students from previous cohorts will present posters. \nThe detailed program includes the links to join the online sessions.
