Welcome Kit
We welcome
you as a Volunteer and thank you for your commitment.
In May 1983, The Warren Centre
was opened and Sir Alan Harris, our inaugural visiting Fellow, launched ‘Marine
Works for Bulk Loading’, our first major project. It set a high standard and was
a great start. Just over 25 years later, we are proud of a long list of
achievements in many fields as diverse as high-performance computing, building
fire and safety engineering, chemical storage, surface mining, underground
space, energy management smart cards, managing the hi-tech enterprise,
telecommunications, CAD, value-adding in manufactured products, and the Medical
Device Network.
These contributions have only been possible because the Centre has responded to
real world issues and needs and so gained the active involvement and support of
our diverse constituency from industry, commerce and the professions.
The Centre's recent publication "Pushing the Engineering Envelope" summarises
the vast majority of our activities to date and particularly the impact that The
Warren Centre has had on the world outside the Centre.

The Centre will interpret your continued willingness to participate in our
activities as evidence that you are across the content of these documents and
agree to abide by the protocols.
Participation in the Warren Centre activities will put a variety of demands on
your time that you may find difficult to meet, but we ask that you respect the
commitment of other Volunteers by making appropriate commitments on your own
behalf and meeting them.
Again, thank you so much for agreeing to become involved in The Warren Centre work. We
look forward to a long and fruitful relationship as we work towards achieving
positive change.
