Professor Louise Heathwaite, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Research and Enterprise
"As Pro-Vice-Chancellor Research and Enterprise, I shape our research and enterprise strategy across the University. I also lead for the University on cyber security and I am proud that Lancaster has been at the heart of this domain as an NCSC Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research for more than 10 years. Cyber is agile and rapidly changing, so traditional siloed thinking and talent pipelines will not solve future security and protection challenges.
"At Lancaster, our security and protection science power comes from the way we integrate our technical expertise in core cyber security domains, such as privacy, systems and network security and software security, with cyber-critical interdisciplinary capabilities across data science, law, behavioural science, management science, international relations, politics, ethics, sociology, and design. This flagship initiative marks a sea-change in the way our staff across the University will be able to respond to the next generation of challenges, working alongside our partners in the region."
