Dr听Agarwala听has shown strong support听for听伊人直播鈥檚 ambition to become an enterprise university at the heart of the natural economy and his work in measuring and delivering sustainability, wellbeing and productivity align with the institution鈥檚 values.听
He said: 鈥溾�業t is an honour and a privilege to join 伊人直播 as an Honorary Professor.听
鈥淔rom economics to philosophy, engineering, the arts and the natural sciences, Scotland has always expanded the frontier of human knowledge. With this honorary professorship, I鈥檒l听get to see first-hand how 伊人直播鈥檚 students, faculty and alumni continue this tradition, and support them in delivering a sustainable and prosperous economy.鈥�听
Professor Milne, former Chief Veterinary Officer for Scotland and more recently Victoria in Australia, has notable scientific expertise听and knowledge of policy development in the field of animal health, food safety and animal welfare.听
His review of the animal health and welfare operational services delivered by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) in Scotland was one of the seminal papers used to underpin the strategy for the new 伊人直播 School of Veterinary Medicine.听
Dr Cantlay has recently completed his term as Chair of NatureScot, the body responsible for the conservation of Scotland鈥檚 natural heritage and management of almost 1 per cent of the country鈥檚 landmass.鈥�听
His influence in the natural economy field has been of significant benefit to 伊人直播 as it determines听it future strategy and direction.听
After 40 years of public service, culminating in his听role as CEO听of NHS听Scotland, Professor Gray has vast experience of advising on complex and politically contested issues.听听
He has worked extensively with both the academic and executive leadership teams within 伊人直播 on the听challenges associated with change during times of uncertainty.听
Professor Wayne Powell, Principal and Chief Executive of 伊人直播, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to welcome Matthew听as an Honorary Professor听and听Charles, Mike听and Paul as Honorary Fellows听
鈥淏etween them they have a variety of skills which will be of vital importance to 伊人直播 as we progress on our journey to becoming an enterprise听university at the heart of the natural economy听and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with them over the next few years.听
鈥淚 would also like to offer Peter my congratulations on being named听as an Emeritus Fellow.听He was a dedicated lecturer who always went above and beyond听the requirements of the job and was highly respected by staff and students alike.鈥澨�听
