CAMBRIDGE RAISES £ 1 BILLION TO “TRANSFORM TOMORROW”
As Cambridge has now celebrated its 800th Anniversary, University and College
leaders are united in their ambition to shape Cambridge’s future on the
world stage, with major investments in four areas. The focus is on
students & staff, strengthening endowments that underpin
excellence, academic freedom, and global competitiveness:
|
| |
 |
Students. Seek
out and attract the brightest students from around the world, with
substantial increases in needs-based financial support for
undergraduates and fully funded scholarships for graduate students.
Strengthen international student exchange programs. Enhance
College facilities and accommodations to satisfy the needs of changing
and diverse student populations.
|
| |
|
Staff. Create
endowed chairs for distinguished academics, in many fields. Sustain
and enhance the supervision-based teaching model that lies at the heart
of Cambridge’s excellence. Build new facilities and refurbish historic
buildings to fit today’s research and teaching needs. Establish new
multidisciplinary programs that cross traditional boundaries while drawing on Cambridge’s existing strengths.
|
|
|
Freedom to discover. Take risks without the prospect of immediate, tangible reward; back and
sustain singular talent in all fields. Provide young academics with the
opportunity to explore new ideas and pursue research without
significant teaching or administrative duties. Develop centers for
excellence, such as the Centre for International Studies and the Isaac
Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, to engage international
communities of scholars in innovative, collaborative research.
|
| |
|
Collections and architectural heritage. Carefully maintain and steward some of Britain’s – and the world’s –
finest art and architecture, for future generations. Seek endowments
to support great collections for teaching, research, and
architectural heritage. Increase the accessibility and value of these
collections to the world at large.
