Welcome to our world-changing University. Let me begin where we began: in 1451, in Glasgow, Scotland. Since that time, our University has been tackling the world’s challenges through creativity, innovation, curiosity and partnership. We have nurtured Nobel laureates and prime ministers, inventors and renowned thinkers, as they’ve sought to push forward the boundaries of what’s possible. Today we continue our tradition of world-changing scholarship, and our tradition of working in partnership with others across the globe – and we’d like you to join us. Our 560-year history has taught us that each day brings new challenges and fresh opportunities. More than ever, I’m excited by the power of collaboration to achieve success. I hope these pages spark your imagination and your curiosity about the ways in which we can work with you to shape our future.

The rest is history The University of Glasgow has often been the starting point for significant journeys of discovery and collaboration. For well over five centuries, we’ve inspired people who have gone on to shape other great educational institutions around the world – and we maintain collaborative partnerships with many of them to this day. In America, the College of New Jersey invited Scotland’s John Witherspoon to become its president in 1768. Based on his experience at the University, he made sweeping reforms and the College became Princeton University. In Canada, the world-famous McGill University was founded in 1821 by a legacy of University of Glasgow alumnus James McGill. In Africa, Glasgow Professor Ian McIntyre’s vision helped establish the veterinary school at the University of East Africa, Nairobi in 1963. Within a year, the Glasgow Medical Faculty had also helped establish the Medical School at Makerere University College in Uganda.
‘Our partnership with Glasgow came from a shared desire to improve African students’ human and veterinary medicine skills, to make them equivalent in standard to the best in the world. With Glasgow’s outstanding contributions to research in tropical diseases, and our commitment to training Africa’s next generation of professionals, we’re building for the future.’ Professor Eli Katunguka Rwakishaya, Director of Research and Graduate Training, Makerere University

Tackling global issues through research Boosting food and fuel production Led by Glasgow’s Regius Professor of Botany Mike Blatt, US and Scottish scientists are looking into ways to make photosynthesis more efficient. Their intention is to increase crop yields for food production or sustainable bioenergy. ‘Our intent is to surpass evolutionary constraints on photosynthesis,’ explains Professor Blatt. ‘We intend to develop new ways to use solar radiation that will increase crop production and may also find uses in biofuel production.’ Professor Blatt’s team includes researchers from Cambridge, Warwick and Pennsylvania State Universities. It’s just one of many projects Glasgow’s staff are involved with that aim to tackle the important challenges mankind faces today. Challenging cross-border crime The European Research Council is funding Simon Mackenzie’s groundbreaking work on global crime networks in the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research. The project gathers and analyses data on the international illicit trade of cultural goods such as motives of traffickers, illegal excavation and pricing structures.
This comprehensive study will not only develop new approaches to regulate international trade of cultural goods but also help policy-makers to better define laws to fight criminal activities. Building a greener world At the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment (SCENE), Glasgow’s scientists are tackling some of our most pressing modern issues, such as climate change, the impact of industrialisation and the effects of pollution, and threats to biodiversity. Improving world health Our new MRC – University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research is investing over £38m into virus research. Many of the emerging threats to human health come from viruses that jump from animals to humans, so the Centre looks at new approaches to virus detection, and developing new antiviral drugs and vaccines. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has invested $10 million in University of Glasgow research to eliminate rabies in low-income countries, and has contributed further funding to help develop a reliable, portable diagnostic tool for rapid and accurate malaria diagnosis.
‘Faculty members at our two great universities are exploring opportunities in medicine, pharmacology and cancer. We hope these complementary research programmes will accelerate our understanding and application of what we discover, for the benefit of human health and wellbeing.’ David Hirsh, former Executive Vice-President for Research at Columbia University

... we are currently engaged, with several groups worldwide, in research that could enable the detection of gravitational waves by 2015.

Unlocking the world’s oldest secrets together ... Glasgow is part of an international effort to understand the science that shapes our universe at the most fundamental level. It’s all about gravitational waves – forces that have existed since the dawn of time. University of Glasgow Professor Sheila Rowan is Director of the Institute for Gravitational Research, which by 2015 aims to have found ways to detect gravitational waves. ‘Gravitational waves are produced by astrophysical sources – things like black holes colliding or stars exploding,’ she explains. ‘Einstein’s theory of general relativity suggests these signals should exist, but no one has yet found a way to detect them directly. ‘To reach our goal we’re collaborating with colleagues in America – including Caltech, Stanford and MIT – and with scientists in France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Russia and Japan, so we can maximise the potential of our combined expertise. Glasgow has just completed a three-year European collaboration to design a new Einstein Telescope, which is a hundred times more sensitive than current detectors.’

... and sharing our latest breakthroughs In 2010, the University of Glasgow became the first in the world to openly offer its Intellectual Property (IP) to businesses for free. In 2011 King’s College London and the University of Bristol joined us to form the first consortium of ‘open-innovation’ universities in the UK. While we still offer commercial opportunities through traditional licensing methods, our Easy Access portfolios give businesses the chance to develop new technologies in partnership with us. This initiative will help enhance connections between industry and universities, enable stronger collaborative networks, and contribute to business success nationally and internationally. Optics expert Professor Miles Padgett was the first Glasgow academic to make his research available to an award-winning industry partner using our Easy Access IP process. ‘I believe that as academics we have an obligation to promote the transfer of our technology into the real world,’ he says. ‘The majority of our ideas are best served by getting them out there.’
‘We welcome the University of Glasgow’s new approach to IP management, and encourage other research organisations to consider innovative and appropriate ways of managing intellectual assets ... to ensure that potential economic and societal benefits can be realised by beneficiaries.’ Professor David Delpy, Research Council UK Champion for Impact and Chief Executive of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is capturing the world’s attention, as scientists attempt to answer questions about the basic forces that have shaped the universe. The ATLAS project involves 174 institutes, with representatives from every continent. University of Glasgow Professor Tony Doyle is part of an international team of 12 responsible for ensuring the latest results from the Hadron Collider are available across the globe. ‘You can’t just be a great teacher,’ he explains. ‘You’ve also got to try to push the fundamentals of your area of expertise, and give what you discover back to your students. In other words, research and teaching should not be separate activities.’ ‘At Glasgow, we want to share discoveries, learn from partners, and build wide-ranging networks of knowledge. We encourage our staff and students to travel the world and make connections, and we welcome countless visitors here to do the same,’ says Professor Andrea Nolan.
Chiara Martino
Here are two of our early-career researchers’ experiences:
‘What we want to do is the future. Basically, we want to create an artificial cell.’
‘It’s fascinating meeting people from different places. You can call upon them, and work with them in the future. I’m a fan of that: making connections as a way of life.’
Chiara Martino is in her second year of a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. She came to Glasgow from Italy to work with micro-droplet technology, which aims to one day create synthetic cells. In 2010, she travelled to Tianjin University in China as part of a three-month exchange, where she produced a portion of modified DNA she is now using in her research here in Glasgow. Following the success of the exchange, Chiara now plans to complete another three months abroad, this time at Harvard University.
Dr Julie Clark is an Urban Studies research associate for the Go Well research and teaching programme – a ten-year project looking into how urban environments affect health and wellbeing. In 2011 she travelled to the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia to represent Glasgow at the Universitas 21 Conference on Energy and Sustainability. The University of Glasgow is a founding member of Universitas 21, an international grouping of leading universities. ‘Universitas 21 brings together many people. We may have different research backgrounds but often share common goals. You get something from face-to-face contact that is irreplaceable,’ Julie says.
‘The UK and the US lead this type of research, so our collaborators in China were keen to work with us. I was very lucky – in Tianjin, they are synthetic biology specialists,’ Chiara says.
‘At Glasgow, we want to share our discoveries, learn from our partners, and build wide-ranging networks of knowledge.

Third-year Archaeology student Fiona Watson went to Turkey to take part in the Cide Archaeological Project – a three-year survey of archaeological remains along the Black Sea coast. ‘I wanted experience of archaeology in another country,’ she explains. ‘I hadn’t done any major survey projects before, and was working with Mediterranean pottery, which I don’t often get a chance to do. Plus, I learned important skills and met other archaeologists from across Europe.’ Final-year medicine student Aysha Latif travelled to Mozambique to complete her senior elective at a medical centre based at a mine in the village of Marropino. ‘This is exactly why I wanted to do medicine,’ she says. ‘It’s about giving help to people who need it but don’t have access to it. It’s a privilege to do this, and it’s only possible because of the way Glasgow runs its electives – in this case because the former chairman of the company that owns the mine, Eric Kohn, is an alumnus of the University. We can learn so much from work and study placements like this, and give back so much in return.’ Fiona and Aysha are just two of the 1,400 students the University sends overseas every year. Working

Learning with others Lynette Jordan, Lecturer in the School of Education, Catherine Bovill, Lecturer in the Learning and Teaching Centre, and PhD student Natalie Sinclair, from the School of Education have been working with Iraqi colleagues at Hawler Medical University in Northern Iraq to develop their curricula towards using student-centred learning approaches. The visit is funded by the British Council, which invests up to £3m a year in Development Partnerships in Higher Education. ‘Student-centred learning is about shifting responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student,’ explains Dr Bovill. ‘Hawler Medical University has students studying medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing, and traditionally these courses have curricula stuffed full of content that students have to learn. But a student-centred approach emphasises skills of enquiry and problem solving.’
Ms Jordan, an expert in community development, explains further: ‘Simply by not assuming we’re the experts, we’re listening more and getting so much back from our Iraqi partners. It’s a two-way process, and they’re showing us their own version of student-centred learning – and how other institutions in Iraq may be interested in it.’ Over the last 560 years, Glasgow has built unique expertise in teaching and learning, and by participating in projects such as these, our academics and teaching experts are involved in a two-way process of learning. The University of Glasgow leads an international consortium consisting of ten partner universities and a network of non-academic partners stretching from Canada to Azerbaijan. This consortium offers the International Masters in Russian, Central & East European Studies (IMRCEES), a two-year double degree Masters programme supported by the
27
European Commission’s prestigious Erasmus Mundus programme. The IMRCEES course is intended for students wishing to pursue a career in government policymaking, the business world, diplomatic service, international organisations and media. IMRCEES offers students a year of study in Glasgow followed by a second year at one of five partner universities in Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Poland or Kazakhstan, which offer a unique specialist study track as well as tailored language training.
In Africa, the University of Glasgow is the only UK partner in The Afrique One consortium that aims to develop research capacity in the area of One Health, which addresses the relationship between the health of ecosystems and their constituent human and animal populations. It is a five-year initiative, funded by the Wellcome Trust, in which Glasgow’s veterinary and life science experts work with 11 research institutes in six countries across sub-Saharan Africa.

Scottish Opera, the National Theatre of Scotland, Scottish Ballet and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra are all resident here. At the heart of this inspirational city, the University of Glasgow is home to a range of world-class cultural treasures. Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery Scotland’s oldest public museum has grown enormously from the first private collections of Dr William Hunter in 1807. It holds works by Rembrandt, Stubbs, Chardin, Pissaro and Rodin, as well as Europe’s largest display of works by Whistler, and the world’s largest collection of works by celebrated Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Its collections have toured across the world. University Library One of the most outstanding libraries in Europe, the library holds more than 2.5m books and journals.Its internationally renowned Special Collections consist of an unrivalled collection of early printed books and manuscripts, accessible to researchers.
University Archive Services The University archives hold all its historical records and more than 1,000 collections spanning seven centuries – all available to researchers from around the world. Centre for Textile Conservation and Technical Art History The only one of its kind in the UK, the Centre works with international partners to train and undertake research in textile conservation and technical methods of art analysis. Our partners include Queen’s University, Ontario; the Universität für Angewandte Kunst, Vienna; and the AbeggStiftung in Bern, Switzerland. Nearly £100,000 awarded by the Getty Foundation is helping representatives from leading institutions like the Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Netherlands’ Van Gogh Museum, London’s V&A and the National Gallery of Denmark explore new routes for research collaboration in conservation and technical art history with Glasgow. An agreement with the School of Art and Art History at the University of Florida is providing work placement opportunities for students and encouraging the exchange of staff and exhibitions, and a similar undertaking is being planned with the Mason-Smithsonian Masters Program in the Decorative Arts in Washington DC.
‘The scope and quality of the Hunterian’s collection – and the activity of its staff to make it accessible countrywide and worldwide – are important contributions to the cultural and scientific life of Britain and the world.’ Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum

Our alumni are our greatest ambassadors. In recent years, our Alumnus of the Year Award has gone to remarkable individuals like Emma Richards, who in 2003 became the first British woman to sail solo around the world, and John Tiffany, Director of international hit play Black Watch, which won four Olivier Awards and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play in 2009. They continue the tradition of excellence set by some of the University’s best-known scholars throughout history, including eminent 19thcentury scientist Lord Kelvin, and economist and author of The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith. ‘The University provided a critical springboard to my professional career, for which I will be eternally grateful. As I have travelled the world on business
I have repeatedly noticed the respect that exists for Scottish universities,’ says former director of the World Bank Mark Wilson, who graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Bachelor of Science degree. Tomorrow’s careers fairs, today The University has developed Virtual Careers Fairs enabling students and graduates to find employment opportunities across Asia. They help students tap into an excellent network of contacts and information. International companies and students can now meet each other without having to travel thousands of miles around the world. The last Virtual Careers Fair attracted around 100 employers across China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam, and nearly 2,000 students from across the UK. The next virtual fair will extend to employers in the US and Canada.
