University of Strathclyde alumnus' £50M largest-ever gift is set to transform lives<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/i06me51m64vw33np94yief/external?email=true&a=1&p=60273227&t=31139365>
"Gift will make a huge difference to our students, our research, and our innovation"
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/4f/b7b3c0cdd2a24674af4824.jpg]
The University of Strathclyde has received a £50M donation from alumnus Charles Huang PhD through his philanthropic foundation - the largest gift Strathclyde has ever received.
Dr Huang gained his MBA from Strathclyde in 1989 and his PhD in Marketing in 1994. He is a global business leader and founder and chairman of Pasaca Capital Inc, a California-based private equity firm established in 2016 with a global focus on investing into innovative technologies and products.
The donation is made as a token of gratitude to the UK for the scholarship that facilitated Dr Huang’s opportunity to be educated at Strathclyde and he also seeks to honour Professor Stephen Young, a former Head of the Department of Marketing and Dr Huang’s supervisor and mentor during his PhD studies.

Important changes to discounted NCP car parking
ParkPass app must be used
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/ec/367935dda876d1cff9ec6d.jpg]From 30 September, NCP are removing the ticket validation machines from Security Control and TIC.
Anyone who wishes to receive a discounted rate from NCP needs to download the ParkPass app and register, using the following codes:
· L6PN4FX (staff and students)
· GVTR4X (visitors and contractors)
Car park users must scan the QR code using the app on entry rather than take a ticket. If they take a ticket NCP will not honour any discount.
Please see the ParkPass app guide for more detailed information<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/1eoqtode804w33np94yief/external?email=true&a=5&p=60273227&t=31139368> on how to register and use the app.

29 September via Zoom

The temporal structure of behaviour contains a rich (but often neglected) source of information about the dynamic organization, origins and development of that behaviour.
The focus of the talk is on the micro-genetic approach to behavioural analysis. Several applications will be discussed, to demonstrate the use of this approach in (developmental) psychology.

[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/f2/d191b4b2b192df71ba79e4.jpg]Our research has found that the online targeted advertising infrastructure is increasingly being used by UK law enforcement and public bodies.
Our initial explorations involved the use of these tools by the National Crime Agency in ‘influence policing’, part of the expansion of the PREVENT programme to extend the use of targeted 'influence' messaging methods to prevent cybercrime and violent crime.
However our mapping research suggests much broader use is becoming common across government and policing.

Research published in the journal Royal Society Open Science
Amphibian foam has been used in drug delivery for the first time, in research which could help to combat the rise of antimicrobial resistance.
Researchers from the University of Strathclyde, Queen’s University Belfast, Glasgow Caledonian University and the University of Glasgow discovered that the foam, found in frogs’ nests, has the potential to offer benefits to topical, vaginal and rectal drug delivery, and in cases such as the treatment of burns.

The NEPTUNE project, funded by the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK, will develop a desk-based decision modelling and support system (DEMOSS) tool that will help to analyse, scope and develop plans for supporting the transition.
It is being led by the University of Strathclyde in partnership with Ricardo UK, Babcock International and Shetland Islands Council and aligns with the archipelago’s 2030 Net-Zero target.

New report by the Fraser of Allander Institute
The support given by unpaid carers to adults with learning disabilities risks being ‘overlooked and undervalued’ according to a new report on the value of unpaid care.
The independent analysis by the Fraser of Allander Institute at the University of Strathclyde, found that on average, the support delivered by each unpaid carer in the sample saved the taxpayer £114,000 per year. This compares to an annual carers allowance of around £4,000 a year, which includes a Scottish supplement.

September-October
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/4d/fe8c0e29217a5036c39963.jpg]These drop-in sessions offer an opportunity each week for staff to come along and seek advice on any aspect of the design and delivery of blended, online and hybrid learning.
Given the remarkable amount of innovation and learning that is currently taking place, we also encourage staff to come and share questions, ideas or experiences - including what has worked well and where there are further opportunities for improvement.
A small team of facilitators will be there to discuss, advise, support, and work alongside you to consider how these approaches might work best for you and your students within your own discipline and context.

Aimed at staff with team lead responsibilities
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/3a/3b7d06bf3110dcc861226a.png]The Continuous Improvement Directorate run a variety of virtual staff development sessions throughout the year.
The best ideas come when people who work or interact with each other share their knowledge and insights and create solutions together.
When an issue needs tackled, a problem needs solved or an opportunity needs to be identified, those who face the issue on a day to day basis are often best placed to deliver solutions and ideas.
This course explores behaviours and structures which create the environment for supporting staff to innovate within their own teams.
