I am trying to contact as many people as possible who remember Keith Wigmore. He died in his 80s at the start of the pandemic and his daughter , Sarah Tibble has arranged a memorial service for him 1pm Tuesday 22nd February at St Paul\u2019s church Brookhouse LA2 9JR<\/p>\n
I knew Keith through St Paul\u2019s church. I realise it is many years since he retired to look after his wife but he was such a delightful gentleman I thought there might still be people who remember him. I should be most grateful if you could spread this message appropriately. Thank you<\/p>\n

Roger Jones, Peter McClintock, Mark Giltrow<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Representatives of the Management Science Department of Lancaster University are conducting a survey to measure demand for Overleaf subscriptions across faculties. Overleaf is the service for online collaboration on scientific documents in LaTeX. We want to understand whether there is a demand for a university-wide subscription. This survey will not take more than 3 minutes of your time, but your responses will help us prepare the application if we find out that there is a demand for the Overleaf. Please follow this link to the survey:\u00a0https:\/\/lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_3804UtyhJMtWd0y<\/a><\/p>\n Philip Simpson \/ Ivan Svetunkov <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n EPSRC CASE Awards: Call for applications <\/strong><\/p>\n Submission date<\/strong>: Friday April 22nd, 2022<\/p>\n Please send applications to: <\/strong>Simon Vaukins \u2013 s.vaukins@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n EPSRC continue to encourage industrial collaboration through CASE awards<\/a> in science and engineering. These awards are a type of doctoral studentship designed to incorporate an element of collaboration and industrially related training to broaden experience. As part of delivering economic impact and increasing company involvement in provision of doctoral training, the EPSRC are committed to increasing impact by increasing the proportion of collaborative studentships within the DTP. To support this, institutions in receipt of DTP have a target of converting 10% of the funds into CASE awards (DTP CASE-conversion).<\/p>\n Further details can be found here: EPSRC CASE Award guidance 2022<\/a><\/p>\n If you have any further questions, please contact Simon Vaukins \u2013 s.vaukins@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Philip Simpson \/ Simon Vaukins<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n FASS Meeting Room 2 The MSI are pleased to restart their lunchtime seminars, starting with two talks given by Dr Stijn Mertens & Alessio Quadrelli.
