2011 sees the twenty-first anniversary of Alumni Weekend – an invention which, undefended by any patent, has been much imitated (though never bettered). Last September I attended Alumni Weekend almost incognito: not an alumnus, though I knew Cambridge well as a teacher and researcher; and not yet Vice-Chancellor, though only days away from my installation. In that in-between state, I felt both the surge of pride that unites the thousands of participating alumni, and also the jolt of inspiration that motivates me as Vice-Chancellor. Cambridge, I realised anew, is a place of infinite discovery – of world-changing inventions and eternal truths, of self, and of friendships that last a lifetime.

9.30am – 10.30am COMPUTER LABORATORY Computer Technology Trends and the Impact on Society

9.30am – 10.30am FACULTY OF HISTORY The Sarajevo Murders and the Outbreak of War in 1914

If you own a modern car, a mobile phone, a washing machine and a toaster then you probably own over a dozen computers. As computers weave their way into the fabric of our everyday lives, what might the impact be on society? Learn about research in the Computer Laboratory and how it contributes to society.

The European continent was at peace on the morning of 28 June 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife arrived at Sarajevo railway station. Thirtyseven days later, it was at war. This lecture revisits the events of that day and seeks to explain how they could trigger a continental war.

Dr Simon Moore is Reader in Computer Architecture at the Computer Laboratory where he undertakes teaching and research into the design and implementation of future computer systems. He was awarded a Pilkington Teaching Prize in 2010.

Professor Christopher Clark is Professor of Modern European History. He is the author of Iron Kingdom, The Rise and Downfall of Prussia, 1600–1947 and various other books and articles on German and European history. He is currently writing a study of the outbreak of war in 1914.

9.30am – 10.30am DEPARTMENT OF ONCOLOGY Cancer: From Biology to Better Treatment In this lecture Professor Ponder will use examples of research in Cambridge to show how better understanding of biology is leading to better detection and treatment of cancer. Professor Sir Bruce Ponder is Director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, and Head of the Department of Oncology. He trained in cancer medicine, and his research focus is on the genes that influence risks of cancer, and the practical applications of that knowledge. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 2001 for his research in cancer genetics and knighted for services to medicine in 2008.

9.30am – 10.30am DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY Understanding Tropical Forests: From Text Book to Reality Two thirds of the world’s plants and animals are found in the tropics, yet most biologists come from temperate regions. Professor Trevelyan will demonstrate how we train conservation biologists from around the world by using the complex yet fascinating world of a tropical forest as our outdoor classroom. Professor Rosie Trevelyan is Director of the Tropical Biology Association based in Cambridge and Nairobi. She has expertise in tropical ecology and conservation and she trains conservation scientists from around the world through ‘hands-on’ courses in Africa and Asia. Rosie has a BA and DPhil in Zoology from the University of Oxford.

9.30am – 10.30am FACULTY OF ENGLISH Shakespeare and the Middle Ages The lecture will explore how extensively Shakespeare’s work is grounded in the medieval culture inherited by the Elizabethans, from the language he spoke, to the books he read and the way he thought about the stage. Professor Helen Cooper is an alumna and research fellow of New Hall (Murray Edwards College). Helen spent many years at University College, Oxford, and returned to Cambridge to take up the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English in 2004. She has written extensively on Middle English literature and its afterlife in the early modern era.

9.30am – 10.30am DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND THEORETICAL PHYSICS The Mathematics of Influenza Despite being a disease that we are all familiar with, influenza has proved to be too elusive to fully understand or control. Mathematics is increasingly being used in research on influenza, from understanding the global spread during pandemics, to how a single virus particle is formed. Dr Julia Gog is a Lecturer in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, a Royal Society University Research Fellow, and a Fellow of Queens’ College. Julia and her research group study the dynamics of infectious diseases, particularly influenza.

SATURDAY

9.30am – 10.30am DEPARTMENT OF GERMAN AND DUTCH The 1972 Munich Olympics: Overcoming the German Past

11.15am – 12.15pm DEPARTMENT OF MATERIALS SCIENCE & METALLURGY How Materials Science can Save the World

The 1972 Munich Olympics, remembered almost exclusively for the devastating terrorist attack on the Israeli team, were intended to showcase the New Germany and replace memories of the Third Reich. This lecture will explore the uncanny links between the 1972 Games and their infamous antecedent, the Berlin Olympics of 1936.

Sustainable development is essential if the populated world, as we know it, is not to be destroyed. This lecture summarises some key issues: why attitudes have to change, how technology must provide solutions, and some exciting life-saving possibilities in diverse areas emerging from the discipline of Materials Science.

Dr Christopher Young is Reader in Modern and Medieval German Studies, and Fellow of Pembroke College. He specialises in medieval German literature and the history of sport. His book The 1972 Munich Olympics and the Making of Modern Germany was published by California Press in 2010.

Dr Rob Wallach is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy and Fellow of King’s College. He recently has had responsibility for the Senior Tutors of the various Colleges, for the Cambridge MIT Exchange (CME) and organises diverse outreach activities for prospective students, school teachers and also primary school children.

11.15am – 12.15pm FACULTY OF MUSIC Composing for the Fuhrer: Music and Aesthetics in Nazi Germany The period 1933–45 is often seen as a dead period in German music. This lecture will explore some of the reasons for the dearth of great music during these years, starting from more obvious factors such as censorship and emigration, but focussing ultimately on the Nazi aesthetic of the beautiful. Dr Martin Ennis is Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Music, and Fellow and Director of Music at Girton College. He combines his university life with a busy career as a performer, specialising as a continuo player. He has been a prize-winner at several international competitions and, in addition to serving as principal keyboard player of the London Mozart Players, he performs regularly with orchestras around the world.

11.15am – 12.15pm DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY Another Use for Magnetic Resonance: How Proteins Involved in Cancer Bind to Each Other Using a technique related to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), this lecture will look at three-dimensional structures of proteins and how they bind to other proteins. These proteins are all involved in pathways important in cancer progression and the information generated is useful for designing new drugs. Dr Helen Mott has a DPhil from University of Oxford followed by a post-doctoral research position in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She has been at the Department of Biochemistry since 1997 and is the recipient of two MRC Fellowships; Assistant Director of Research and a Fellow of Gonville and Caius.

11.15am – 12.15pm DEPARTMENT OF POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES The Rise of New Powers and the Challenges of Global Trade Governance No good deed goes unpunished: the World Trade Organisation’s (WTO) timely response to accommodate the new powers – Brazil, China, and India – at the heart of its decision-making has created unanticipated new problems for the organisation. Given these experiences, what insights can be learnt about the rise of new powers within the WTO and also in other multilateral organisations? Dr Amrita Narlikar is the Director of the Centre for Rising Powers, and University Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Studies. She has a DPhil from the University of Oxford and a PhD from Cambridge.

11.15am – 12.15pm DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY Are Your Genes to Blame When Your Jeans Don’t Fit? Recent dramatic changes in our environment have led to the current obesity epidemic. However, we have all responded differently to these changes. Dr Yeo will argue that bodyweight is a highly heritable trait, providing us with the opportunity to use genetics as a tool to understand the molecular mechanisms controlling food intake. Dr Giles Yeo came to Cambridge in 1994 for his PhD with Sydney Brenner. In 1998 he began postdoctoral training with Stephen O’Rahilly on obesity genetics. Giles is now a group leader at the Metabolic Research Laboratories, studying brain control of food intake. He is a tutor and Fellow of Wolfson College.

11.15am – 12.15pm DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING Delivering Sustainability on an Olympic Scale

11.15am – 12.15pm FACULTY OF CLASSICS Why Was the Marathon Not an Ancient Olympic Event?

The London Olympic Park is one of the most challenging and high profile construction projects this country has seen. Find out how sustainability was integrated into the planning, design and construction process to transform this forgotten part of East London amidst a challenging timeframe and economic downturn.

All over the world today marathon races are regularly staged. This is quite remarkable, not only because the race is a gruelling 26 miles or 42 kilometres (or thereabouts), but also because before 1896, at the ‘revived’ Olympic Games in Athens, no one had run a marathon race, ever, anywhere, including in Greece. Why not? Come and hear..

Kirsten Henson is a sustainability professional with a Masters in Engineering and Engineering for Sustainable Development from Cambridge. Her work with the forthcoming Olympics, and more recently the United Nations Environment Programme, demonstrate her knowledge in the challenging field of sustainable development.

Professor Paul Cartledge is the inaugural AG Leventis Professor of Greek Culture in the Faculty of Classics. He is a Professorial Fellow and President of the Fellowship of Clare College. He has written, cowritten, edited and co-edited well over 20 monographs, the latest being The Cambridge World History of Slavery: volume 1, The Ancient Mediterranean World (CUP 2011).

Autoimmune diseases affect up to 10% of us at some point during our lives. Such illnesses include Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus and others. Recent advances in the genetic and molecular analysis of these conditions are beginning to explain how the interaction between our immune system and the environment, and particularly the bugs within it, shape our risk of autoimmune disease, but at the same time promises novel approaches to treatment. Professor Ken Smith is Professor of Medicine and Head of the Department of Medicine and is a Fellow of Pembroke College.

1.30pm – 2.30pm FACULTY OF ENGLISH Georgian Medievalism and the Romantic Guitar in England 1800–1820 (with demonstration) With its quiet and civil voice, the Spanish guitar of the Romantic period did not become part of the orchestra. Neither a canonical instrument nor a weighty piece of furniture, like the harp and pianoforte, it was free to rove in the terrain of ideas and gather many associations, especially with a developing Romantic vision of the medieval world. Dr Christopher Page is the Vice-Master of Sidney Sussex and Reader in Medieval Music and Literature. He holds the Dent Medal of the Royal Musical Association awarded for outstanding services to musicology. His instrument of choice is the early Romantic guitar, and he plays one built by Charles Valance in Paris, in the 1820s.

1.30pm – 2.30pm McDONALD INSTITUTE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH Excavating a Provincial Capital of the Assyrian Empire

1.30pm – 2.30pm DEPARTMENT OF POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Politics and the London Olympics 1908, 1948, 2012

The Cambridge Expedition to Ziyaret Tepe is dedicated to documenting a provincial capital of the Assyrian empire before it disappears forever. The finds have been superb, including an archive of cuneiform tablets dating to the final collapse of the empire and a text from the Governor’s Palace suggesting the existence of a language hitherto completely unknown.

When we think about politics and the Olympics, we tend to think of Berlin 1936 or Munich 1972. We don’t think of London. But politics has played a big part in each of the London games. This lecture will explore how and why, and see what this tells us about the changing relationship between politics and sport.

Dr John MacGinnis is a Research Fellow at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, specialist in the archaeology and inscriptions of ancient Babylonia and Assyria. He has worked on sites across the Middle East and has been Field Director of the Cambridge Expedition to Ziyaret Tepe since the commencement of the work in 2000.

Dr David Runciman is a Reader in Political Thought in the Department of Politics and International Studies. He has written widely about politics and sport and is a frequent contributor to the London Review of Books and BBC radio. His recent books include The Politics of Good Intentions and Political Hypocrisy.

Sir Richard Jebb’s edition of Sophocles is setting new standards for the editing of classical texts, and Lord Kelvin and Peter Guthrie Tait are revolutionising the world of physics. Meanwhile the government of the day has appointed a commission to look into the finances and running of the ancient universities …
