Room G37 (Senate House, Ground Floor):12:30pm
Kate Macdonald (University of Ghent): 'The English novels of Elizabeth van Hoof: a literary time capsule from the 1930s'.  Description: After the recent death of a Belgian civil servant, Elizabeth van Hoof, her family donated her collection of English books to me, in order for them to kept together, just as she had done for over seventy years. The collection consists of 39 English novels, largely in cheap or first editions, many of which are now very rare. This talk discusses the methodology of collating and researching such a capsule collection, determining its provenance within twentieth-century Belgian social history, and its significance for study within popular fiction and book history.

Wim Van Mierlo (Institute of English Studies): 'T. Sturge Moore: Man of Letters'.  The poet, dramatist, art critic, engraver and illustrator T. Sturge Moore (1870-1944) was a seminal figure in the literary and artistic circles of London in the early decades of the twentieth century. His prolific creative and artistic output, sitting on the cusp between nineteenth-century aestheticism and twentieth-century modernism, can most effectively be classed as post-symbolist.  An innovator, though no radical, Sturge Moore was well-respected by his contemporaries and exerted a strong influence on the course of the artistic and literary movements of his time. http://www.ull.ac.uk/specialcollections/SturgeMoore.shtml  All welcome. Attendance free. If you would like to attend please contact Library Office, Senate House Library, University of London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU; tel. 020 7862 8411.

University Engagement in Domestic and International Venues:

Future Paradigms from New Orleans and England?

 

For most universities established prior to the 1990s, public engagement or public service roles have been articulated as part of the core university missions.  These roles have been demonstrated in varying manifestations ranging from some exemplary programs for students and faculty or, in some instances, barely visible on the radar.  To what extent do local, national, and global phenomena affect universities' ability and willingness to foster and ensure that public engagement is, indeed, integral to the life of the academy?   In order to begin addressing this query, this presentation concentrates on:  a) select private universities in New Orleans drastically affected by Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil Spill amid an economic downturn and; and b) an illustration from an English university seeking to maintain its position at the top tier of world-class sites in light of declining resources.   In both cases, geopolitical realities are linked to engagement enterprises.  

 

 

5.30 – 7.00pm, Room 801, level 8, Institute of Education, 20 Bedford Way, LondonWC1H OAL

The first workshop in this series is on R&D Tax Credits Wed 25th May 3pm

Written on 20.5.11 by CommuniKation

Research & Development Tax Credits Presentation

H M Revenue and Customs

Are you a new or expanding company looking for money to fund research & development?

 

Are you a member of UCL interested in starting a research intensive business?


If so, UCL Advances (www.ucl.ac.uk/advances), in partnership with Capital Enterprise (www.capitalenterprise.org), is running a series of presentations on funding a high-growth start-up business.

 

The first workshop in this series is on R&D Tax Credits.

Date: Wednesday 25th May 2011

Time: 3.00pm start, followed by networking drinks (4.30 to 5.30pm)

Venue: UCL Bloomsbury Campus, London, WC1E 7JE

Room: Details will be sent closer to the date

Did you know that Companies carrying out research & development in science or technology, may - through the tax system - receive funding to cover up to 175% of the cost of research & development. This funding can come in the form of either a credit against your annual tax bill, or if you are incurring losses, a grant.  

UCL has organised a presentation by experts from HMRC, Deloitte LLP and from businesses who have actually received R&D tax credits on the scheme and how to successfully apply for it. 

We will also be providing presentations on the services UCL Advances is presently offering businesses and a quick overview of all the funding options currently available for new businesses in London.
The programme will include (may be subject to change):
  • Funding presentation by John Spindler, CEO, Capital Enterprise: a brief presentation about where start-ups can apply for funding                       
  • HMRC will present on whether your company is eligible for R&D tax credits and how to apply          
  • Case study: Terry Toms, Founder of Executive Network Consultants. Terry will be providing an SME perspective on claiming. Terry has been involved with R&D Tax Credit claims since 2002, and sits on the Intellect R&D Tax Credit Committee.  His area of specialisation is in analysing projects, helping determine the scope of the qualifying R&D and helping produce justification documents to support claims. 
  • "What UCL can do for business?": a brief presentation by Essi Niittymaki, HELO Project Manager, UCL Advances
  • Q&A panel discussion with audience, including all presenters and representatives from Deloitte LLP
To register for this presentation, please follow this link to complete your details:http://hmrcpresentation.eventbrite.com/
