Dear Colleague
I’m delighted to invite you to a special event to celebrate the presentation of the Global NCAP award to the University of Sunderland.
We’ll be joined by David Ward, Global NCAP’s Secretary General, who will be talking about the important work undertaken by the North East Automotive sector in relation to improving road safety standards across Europe.
Former MEP Alan Donnelly received the Global NCAP award in July for his work on car safety standards legislation, which have since become the global standard on crash testing.
Alan will be formally presenting his award to the University of Sunderland in recognition of their research in Graphene, which could develop the technologies for the next generation of vehicle safety – allowing cars to be lighter and greener, without compromising safety.
I’d be pleased if you could join me on Friday, 12th February, 12noon, at the National Glass Centre, for the presentation and lunch.
To secure your place please RSVP to events@sunderland.ac.uk by 5th February.
Yours sincerely
Iain Malcolm
