Description

CASE Europe and Universities UK hosted a national debate in March 2011 on the role of philanthropy in supporting higher education and the arts. With state support for higher education and the arts diminishing, the role of private contributions to Britain's universities and cultural organisations is increasingly significant.

Chaired by Joanna Motion, CASE vice president for International Operations, the session included these speakers:

  • Rory Brooks, co-founder, MML Capital Partners and Philanthropist; chair, Global Leadership Board, University of Manchester
  • Eileen Gallagher, chief executive officer, Shed Productions
  • Ron Gray, director of development and alumni relations, University of Loughborough 
  • Julia Peyton-Jones, director, Serpentine Gallery
  • Professor Eric Thomas, vice-chancellor, University of Bristol; chair of the board of trustees, CASE Europe; and vice president, Universities UK
  • Professor Lord Winston, professor of Science and Society, Imperial College London; chancellor, Sheffield Hallam University; chairman, the Royal College of Music; and member of the Council, Surrey University

Many of Britain's significant and much-loved institutions were founded by generous and farsighted benefactors. Schools, museums and universities across the country bear the nameplate of 800 years of philanthropy, from Oxford's Bodleian Library to the University of East Anglia's Sainsbury's Centre for the Visual Arts.

Can we reinvent and broaden this ethos for the 21st century? This national debate, coinciding with the government's Green Paper on Giving, explores what British-style philanthropy means today.
