Commemoration Day 2024
We live in an exciting time for science, both happening within Imperial and outside it. Our chemists and mathematicians are harnessing the power of automation and machine learning in new AI Hubs based across the UK and within White City. Our physicists are developing the next-generation of metamaterials, and embarking on bold experiments to uncover new fundamental science. Meanwhile, the work of our environmental and life scientists seek to address the most pressing challenge of our age: climate change and its impacts on human society.
The research that many of you have done throughout your degree has proven to be even more critical in times like these. You have cultivated skills that will not only serve you well in your chosen fields but also enable you to address the challenges of our time.
Witnessing your achievements and hunger as young people in science has filled me with the utmost confidence that the future is in good hands.
The UK government’s decision to boost Imperial’s funding for its Centres for Doctoral Training is testament to the high-caliber of our early-career researchers, including postgraduates like yourselves. Our graduates are not only ready for research in university settings but also in industry and beyond.
I urge you to continue embracing the spirit of innovation and exploration that defines the natural sciences. Be courageous in the face of uncertainty, for it is through adversity that we often make our greatest discoveries. And, most importantly, remain lifelong learners, for the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds.
Remember, your journey does not end here; it's only just beginning. As you embark on the next phase of your lives, I encourage you to stay connected with your alma mater and your fellow graduates. The friendships you have forged and the experiences you have shared at Imperial College will be a source of inspiration and support throughout your careers.
I hope you join me in thanking the people
