Monday 29 March 2010
This year’s national graduate development conference addresses some fundamental issues:
• Why recruit and develop graduates?
• What are you developing graduates for?
• What makes a successful manager or executive today and in the future?
• What can universities do to prepare graduates?
• How do you make your programme profitable
• What impact has the recession had on development
• How do you develop global players in a global market?
• And, how do you develop graduate leadership capability?
• How good are we at ‘delivering the promise’?
The programme consists of keynote speeches, workshops and discussion groups led by some of the leading players in the sector. In addition, there will be plenty of time to network with like-minded professionals from a wide range of businesses.
As if that was not enough there will also be an exhibition and to end the day, the first ever AGR Graduate Development Award Ceremony and a drinks reception to celebrate what we fully expect to be an exciting, insightful and satisfying day with an emphasis on best practice and innovation.

Earthwatch Lectures (UK)
For well over a decade, environmental charity Earthwatch has hosted a series of educational and engaging events which are free to the public.
Earthwatch Lecture: Farming and sustainable environments
7.00pm, Wednesday 17 March 2010, Royal Geographical Society, London SW7 2AR
Speakers: Professor Ken Norris, University of Reading; Dr Mark Chandler, Earthwatch
Chair: BBC Countryfile presenter, Julia Bradbury
6.00pm: Doors open (Cash bar); 7.00pm – 8.30pm: Lecture; 8.30pm - 9.30pm: Second cash bar.
As the world’s population increases and climate change forces land use patterns to change, pressures upon farmers to produce more food on limited agricultural land grows by the day. Some believe we will have to grow more food over the next 50 years than we have over the last 10,000. Yet productive and sustainable agriculture depends on healthy ecosystems - fertile soil, plentiful water and flourishing natural pollinators and pest controllers. Can we reconcile the conflict between urgently intensifying agriculture and conserving precious ecosystems?
Join environmental charity, Earthwatch, as their scientists, Professor Ken Norris and Dr Mark Chandler, tease apart the complex issues at the heart of this debate, relating it to their researchon the sustainability of cocoa farming in Ghana and coffee production in Costa Rica.

Earthwatch Lecture: Forests: challenged by a changing climate
7.00pm, Thursday 20 May 2010, Royal Geographical Society, London SW7 2AR
Speakers: Dr Mark Huxham, Napier University; Dr Glen Reynolds, Royal Society SE Asia Rainforest Research Programme
Chair: to be announced
6.00pm: Doors open (Cash bar); 7.00pm – 8.30pm: Lecture; 8.30pm - 9.30pm: Second cash bar.
Almost half of the planet’s original forests have been severely damaged by illegal logging and uncontrolled conversion to farmland, compromising their capacity to support wildlife, maintain soil structure and fertility, protect watersheds, and provide essential raw materials for local communities. However, if well managed, forests are extremely resilient, demonstrating an extraordinary capacity to regenerate. In the face of decades of human exploitation – and now climate change – how can we restore forests before they become biological deserts?
Join Earthwatch scientists, Drs Mark Huxham and Glen Reynolds, as they take you on a journey to mangrove forests in Kenya and the rainforests of Borneo. They will share with you the results to date of their pioneering research into the restoration of two very different, yet similarly challenged, forest ecosystems.
