28/06/2008	MEETS: Mid-Career Enterprise Education for Technology and Science Increasing the number of women becoming senior managers and starting businesses is a key challenge facing the UK economy. Recent research suggests that if women started businesses at the same rate as men, the UK would have 150,000 additional start-ups each year. This inequality is even greater in the field of Science, Engineering and Technology, which traditionally has had a relatively low level of participation from women. Equally, there are still very few women who become senior managers in their company.

14/03/2008	Inter-university teaching and its funding in the UK Weblabs builds on the kind of software for remote operation that is widely used in industry. With Weblabs, students can get laboratory experience at any time and perform their work from any location that has internet access. The experimental equipment can be easily shared and used around the clock from anywhere in the world. This drastically changes the economics of providing laboratory experiments to students and, potentially, a huge number of experiments can be available for use.

Achieving system-level change within and across complex healthcare organisations has often proved to be difficult and challenging. Many have recognised the need for novel approaches, drawing on systems perspectives and accounting for the complexities of the contexts in which the systems operate.
17/10/2006	The 21st Century Construction Industry In collaboration with academics from Salford University, the Cambridge-MIT Institute has put together a cross-industry group consisting of some 20 major organisations, of whom half are from the public sector. They have in common that each is a major client of the construction industry, but also has a range of responsibilities beyond that. They find it valuable to be able to discuss their common problems without having to worry about commercial sensitivities. For example, only one bank is represented, and only one oil company.

In the digital knowledge economy, as the value of information increases so does the importance of maintaining the security of that information.
