Category: CurrentCambridge University Eco Racing Categories: Current Cambridge University Eco Racing was founded in 2007 by an undergraduate engineer who, inspired by his work on a solar car team during his year participating in the Cambridge-MIT Exchange, began a similar project in Cambridge. By the end of the year, CUER had built a prototype vehicle, Affinity, in the hope of demonstrating the incredible potential of electric vehicles. Through the development of such vehicles, CUER aims to showcase cutting-edge sustainable engineering and to develop our own technologies for a low-carbon future. This year, CUER has begun to make its way onto the international stage with its first competitive race vehicle - Endeavour. Launched at Goodwood Festival of Speed by F1 World Championship Leader Jenson Button, Endeavour will compete in the 2009 Global Green Challenge. This 3000km endurance race runs from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia, and pits the world’s most advanced solar vehicles against each other. CUER comprises members from all over the world, including several from Hong Kong and China. Part of our aim is to raise public awareness of the acute environmental issues stemming from a reliance on fossil fuels, and to demonstrate the viability of solar technology. We are now beginning to do this on an international level, having so far received coverage from the BBC, MonacoTV, CCTV and RTHK. For more information, you may visit our website at www.cuer.co.uk, or contact lucy.fielding@cantab.net. Whether you wish to make an individual donation, follow our progress or merely spread the word about us, we welcome the support of all Cambridge alumni as we make our first attempt to cross the Australian outback using only the power of the sun, on 25th – 31st October 2009.

  Vice Chancellor's Visit (31 March 2008)   Girton alumni dinner hosted by Ms Francisca Malaree, Development Director and Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge 31 March 2008 - Cocktail in honour of Dame Patricia Hodgson, 29 March 2008 Mentorship seminars (July - Aug 2008) Consulting industries  Financial industries  Further studies and Startup ventures  Prince Philip Award Ceremony 2 Sept 2008 Reception for Dr. Hickson, Dr. Martin and Dr. Huang Sept 2008  Prince Philip Scholarship Seminar  The Bi-Annual dinner of Friends of Cambridge University in Hong Kong (28 Nov 2008)  ---- Opportunity to work with Cambridge University Judge Business School on Consulting Projects URL http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/projects The Global Consulting Project is the culmination of the MBA core course and gives JBS's students the chance to apply what they have learned to a real management situation, working as consultants in a team of four or five. Client sponsors in return get fresh perspectives and new insights from some top minds on a pressing business issue that they have themselves identified. The student team works on the project for four weeks (16 March to 10 April 2009) during the University Easter vacation and the final deliverable is a report and presentation to the client. JBS has its strongest ever cohort of MBAs this year - 149 young professionals from 49 countries. They come to us with an average GMAT of 690, excellent references and an average of six years work experience, so they are mature, motivated business people. The teams may work for any client, anywhere in the world on the GCP, completing projects of all types, including complete strategic reviews, benchmarking and best practice analysis, marketing analysis, merger and acquisition strategy, to mention just a few. There are no fees involved, but the client must meet all student expenses associated with the project (ie travel, accommodation, subsistence etc), and we need to know that procedures are in place to ensure prompt payment. Given the wealth and breadth of experience the student team brings, the projects represent incredible value for money and are a wonderful low-risk opportunity to talent spot; the students have rightly earned a reputation for delivering results of real and lasting value.
