New Institute a Catalyst for Research and Economic Growth’

Universities and Science Minister David Willetts formally opened the new Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) at the end of March, accompanied by Professor Don Nutbeam, University of Southampton Vice-Chancellor and Richard Sadler, Chief Executive Officer of Lloyd’s Register (LR). It will be located on alongside LR on the redeveloped Boldrewood Campus of Southampton University and is due for completion in 2014. Drawing an investment of around £116M into the new campus, it is the largest such business-focused endeavour in any UK university.

“Industries and universities have a vital role to play collaborating together to achieve sustained economic growth,” said Mr Willetts. “Southampton has long been a centre of excellence for the marine industry so it is a fitting home for this new Institute.
The world leading R&D that will be carried out at the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute will be key to maintaining the industry’s first-rate international reputation. We want to see more of examples of this kind of collaboration, which is why we announced a £100m fund in the Budget to help universities attract private sector and charity partners.”

Professor Nutbeam added: “This is one of those occasions when we can celebrate what is a most unique association between ourselves and Lloyd’s Register - a fantastic ally with the University over more than 40 years. It’s through the trust built over decades of co-operation that we’ve embarked upon this project, which really has no parallel in terms of its scale and ambition.” He added that the SMMI would be a hub for international collaborations  and the campus an attractive option for partners who could draw “upon our fantastic research and development capabilities and the fantastic future resource represented by our students.”

Tom Boardley, Marine Director for Lloyd’s Register said: “Collaborative initiatives such as the SMMI and our Group Technology Centre are clearly the way forward for British industry. When you combine the strengths of business and academia for research purposes, you stimulate the kind of practical innovation that supports sustainable industry. It is strategic technical alliances like these that will ensure our shipping and energy sectors have the solutions they need to remain safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive.”
