The National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV has been awarded £650,000 by the Higher Education Funding Council for England to create a massive focus on less privileged and under-represented groups within the 200,000 gifted young people that make up England’s top 5% by ability and potential.
Researchers in the University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Department of Physics have developed a novel non-contact method of using ultrasound to detect and measure cracks and flaws in rail track – particularly gauge corner cracking - that has the potential to simply be attached to a normal passenger or freight train travelling at high speeds.
One of the ways the University of ÌÇÐÄTV will mark its forthcoming 40th Anniversary is the creation of an innovative “Outstanding Young Researchers Fellowships” scheme designed for young US scholars. The scheme echoes the US/UK exchange schemes ÌÇÐÄTV created when it first opened as a University in 1965.
The University of ÌÇÐÄTV has been given charge of almost £7.5 million in funding in a government scheme designed to encourage enterprise, technological innovation and the development and support of high technology businesses.
