I'm delighted to be taking up this role and look forward to developing a range of educational offerings for the Institute, which plays such a key role as we work on responses to the challenges of our developing digital society. One of our aims for the Institute is to be able to reach learners beyond those who fit the typical profile for university education and our portfolio of courses reflects that. I'm thankful for the work of my colleagues in creating such a platform to work from and I can't wait to get started.
