Strathclyde Safe 360°: Keeping our buildings, belongings and community safe and secure
Secure entry access requirements
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v3files/shard1/85313/b2/5f809faf4d7c4ef08e7db2.png]A reminder that it is important not to leave personal and work-related belongings, particularly electronic items such as laptops and phones, unattended when you’re using campus buildings, and to ensure that you do not allow others to tailgate or follow you into any spaces that require secure entry access.
It’s also important the access control measures aren’t circumvented by the inappropriate use of deadlock bolts or roller shutters to keep doors open. This helps ensure the security of our buildings and belongings, and the safety of our staff and students.
If you have any concerns, please contact Security immediately by phoning 0141 548 3333.

Generative AI in Research
Message from Professor Tim Bedford, Associate Principal
[Professor Tim Bedford]The use of Generative AI has grown dramatically since the launch of ChatGPT and related products. While this has been considered in the Teaching and Learning space for some time, useful guidance in Research and Innovation has not been available.
The University Research and Knowledge Exchange Committee (RKEC) established a short life working group led by Professor Wendy Moncur, Computer & Information Sciences, to consider this area which has now recommended that the University adopt the Living guidelines on the responsible use of generative AI in research<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/gcgouyajg9lw5sb93d38j4/external?email=true&a=5&p=64572603&t=31139365> produced by the European Research Area (ERA) Forum stakeholders.
RKEC has agreed the recommendation, and we commend this to all academic colleagues using GenAI in their research (or considering doing so) as the current best practice guidance available.
We shall reference this report in the next edition of the University Research Code of Practice.

The survey should take no more than five minutes to complete and will be open until Monday 4 August.

1964 Olympics
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v3files/shard1/85313/65/af3e5d347f065e6fb6416d.jpg]Strathclyde was just two months old when it had its first taste of major sporting glory, courtesy of swimmer and Architecture student Bobby McGregor.
Bobby claimed the silver medal in the 100 metres Freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics in October, 1964. Finishing in 53.5 seconds, he lost out on gold to Don Schollander of the US by just 0.1 seconds.
As we celebrate Strathclyde's sixtieth anniversary and as the 2024 Olympics approach, it is a good time to look back at Bobby's achievement.

[The Golden City’s golden anniversary]The 50th anniversary of a renowned production by the Strathclyde Theatre Group – which was active from the 1970s until the early 2000s and numbered many Strathclyders as members – is to be celebrated in an exhibition<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/kvddqrxydsdw5sb93d38j4/external?email=true&a=5&p=64572603&t=32709029> at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The Golden City was originally performed at Glasgow Cathedral in August 1974 and then moved to the Edinburgh Festival, where The Guardian declared it "the Festival’s single dramatic sensation".
