WORK HISTORY
Director @Eastern Arc
Eastern Arc is a strategic research consortium comprising the universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent and Sussex.All four were born in a time of optimism and change, when old conventions were being questioned and traditions being challenged. All four aimed to be different, to work across disciplinary boundaries, to offer alternative ways of thinking.This is enshrined in UEA’s motto (‘do different’), it’s there in Essex’s founding principles (‘freer, more daring, more experimental’), and clear from the words of Kent’s first VC, Geoffrey Templeman: ‘We have tried, in a very real sense, to make this university a community of masters and scholars.where people of the various disciplines mix up.’ It still resonates through Sussex\'s strategic aim of being \'disruptive by design;They are all broadly of the same size in terms of student numbers and income, have similar strengths and face many of the same challenges. By being part of the consortium, by working together, they can share their strengths and be a strong, united force in an increasingly competitive research landscape.
