Editor's Notes

  1. Structure: Achievements in 05/06. Summary of main KPIs for 2015, coming back to KPIs for Schools by 2010, targets over next 2 years and then for the next 12 months (05/06 Operational Plan). c) The main issues that we need to discuss.
  2. The Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator . It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics , advancing our understanding of the deepest laws of nature . After the 2009 winter shutdown, the LHC was restarted and the beam was ramped up to 3.5 TeV per beam, [10] half its designed energy, [11] which is planned for after its 2012 shutdown. On 30 March 2010, the first planned collisions took place between two 3.5 TeV beams, which set a new world record for the highest-energy man-made particle collisions. MIB secures major EU DirectFuel consortium grant (€3.7M) The DirectFuel consortium brings together European and US expertise in enzymology, systems biology and synthetic biology to develop photosynthetic microorganisms that catalyse direct conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide to engine-ready fuels. The Manchester component led by Prof Nigel Scrutton (MIB Director) and Prof David Leys (both members of the Manchester Enzymology Group), will provide novel components to construct novel biochemical pathways and create new photosynthetic strains that would allow low-cost production of transport fuel in a potentially neutral 'greenhouse gas' emitting process that does not compete for agricultural land.
