SUMMARY:Until the end of time
DESCRIPTION:The Universe is astoundingly vast both in time and in space\, and yet appears to be governed by simple\, elegant\, mathematical laws. Guided by these laws\, world-renowned physicist Brian Greene will take us on a journey from our most refined understanding of the universe’s beginning to the closest science can take us to the very end. He will explore how life and mind emerged from the initial chaos\, and how our minds\, in coming to understand their own impermanence\, seek in different ways to give meaning to experience: in narrative\, myth\, religion\, creative expression\, science\, the quest for truth\, and our longing for the timeless. He will show it is within these pursuits that we experience profound wonder and create great beauty\, even as the universe and all it contains is destined for decay. \nThrough a series of nested stories that explain distinct but interwoven layers of reality – particles to planets\, consciousness to creativity\, matter to meaning – Greene will provide us with a clearer sense of how we came to be\, a finer picture of where we are now\, and a firmer grasp of where we are headed. With this grand tour of the Universe\, beginning to end\, we can all understand and appreciate our fleeting but utterly exquisite moment in the cosmos. \nTicket prices: \n\nStandard £16\nConcession £10\nRi Members and Ri Patrons £7\n\nFull details and booking

SUMMARY:Beyond Global Britain – UK Foreign Policy in Space
DESCRIPTION:Half a century after the Apollo 11 moon landing\, space continues to be one of the foremost areas of foreign policy expansion and the projection of national capabilities. The UK is not alone in launching an ambitious space strategy: in November 2019\, NATO foreign ministers recognised space as a new operational domain for the establishment of international governance and infrastructure. As ‘Global Britain’ becomes a reality\, space will increasingly become a key frontier for the UK’s redefinition of its role in the world. \nInvestment in the space sector inherently develops leadership in areas crucial to the UK’s international standing – innovation in technology and R&D\, increased national security capabilities\, and the opportunity to export the UK’s expertise in governance through establishing international space infrastructure. In honour of International Women’s Day\, the British Foreign Policy Group and the D Group bring together a panel of female defence and security experts in discussing the future of the UK’s space strategy\, as well as its implications for the direction of the UK’s foreign policy and future economic growth. \nFurther information and registration

SUMMARY:GrowAgri Space\, Cyber & GIS Seminar
DESCRIPTION:There is considerable development in precision agriculture and a significant strand of this is the reliance on high resolution and accurate data. \nThis two-day seminar\, delivered by Malvern-based software solutions company Borwell\, will give attendees an introduction into work currently being conducted in the space sector\, to inform of the level of correlation that can be achieved between space assets and those on the ground. It will also explore opportunities for further commercialising space infrastructure within an agricultural or horticultural context. \nIt will also explore how GIS (Geographic Information Systems) could improve software tools available within the farming sector to make spatial data more useful\, further allowing attendees to innovate or adapt existing products and services. \nWith the high level of focus on data\, the bootcamp will conclude with cyber tools that will best respond to the challenges within the farming sector. \nTo support SMEs who are looking to diversify into the agri-tech sector GrowAgri Worcestershire has a range of grants from £1\,000 upwards\, to support the purchase of capital equipment. For full terms & conditions\, please email growagri@wcg.ac.uk or call 0330 135 7179. \nGrowAgri Worcestershire is jointly funded by WCG and the European Regional Development Fund. \nRegister for this event
