Frances Cairncross CBE opens the IAS Building, 29 November 2005

Date: 29 November 2005

Lancaster's new Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) was officially opened by Frances Cairncross, CBE, Chair of the Economic and Social Research Council and Rector of Exeter College, Oxford, on 29 November 2005. Frances Cairncross said: "The IAS aims to work across disciplines in many innovative and exciting ways. It plans to break down academic barriers, and to make connections. It will be an ideal location for the kind of cross-disciplinary work which often begins around the communal coffee pot and biscuit tin, and broadens into fresh and important perceptions of the way the world works."
