Campaign for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê in the USA

22 February 2005

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's President and Provost, Professor Malcolm Grant, launched the Campaign for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê in the United States at a reception in New York on 20 January 2005.

Professor Malcolm Grant (President and Provost of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê) and Duncan Taylor (Deputy British Consul General) The Campaign for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê - the largest fundraising drive ever launched by a UK university - aims to raise some £300 million ($550 million) over the next decade, to help finance groundbreaking research and teaching projects and initiatives across a range of intellectual disciplines.

The Campaign for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê will enable Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê to move closer towards its vision of establishing itself as London's global university. Major projects to be supported by the Campaign include the Spinal Repair Unit, a world-leading centre of expertise at the forefront of the search for a cure for spinal repair injuries; the Ear Institute, a new centre of excellence in central London working to find a cure for common conditions such as tinnitus; and an extensive programme of bursaries, scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships to support students and the next generation of academics.

Elements of the Campaign being highlighted in the US include a proposal to create a Chair of American History in London. The holder of the Chair will be expected to provide intellectual leadership for the development of US history in London, the UK and Europe.
