    ISIS INNOVATION LIMITED

    2 South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3UB

    Isis Innovation, a wholly-owned company of the University, was
    established in 1988. The company has been formed to exploit know-how
    arising out of research funded by the UK Government through the
    Research Councils and funded by other bodies where the rights are not
    tied. The function of the company is to ensure that the results of
    research bring rewards to Oxford, and to the inventors, who are given
    a financial incentive for exploitation.

    Isis seeks licensees willing to pay lump sums and/or royalties
    for the use of know-how arising out of research. Isis also exploits
    the intellectual property of the University by setting up individual
    companies using venture capital or development capital funds.

    Isis' services are also available to individuals who wish to exploit
    the results of research supported by non-Research Council sources,
    when there are no prior conditions on the handling of the
    intellectual property rights. Isis Innovation has at its disposal a
    small pre-seedcorn fund for paying the costs of protecting
    intellectual property rights and for taking work to a stage where its
    potential can be assessed.

    Isis finds industrial partners to ensure that new ideas can be
    developed for market requirements. The company has established the
    Oxford Innovation Society for major industrial companies, so that
    they can have a window on Oxford technology and an opportunity to
    license and invest where appropriate.

    A brochure explaining Isis' activities is available. Please
    contact the above address, or the telephone and fax numbers given
    below.

    Members of the University should contact Dr James Hiddleston if
    they wish to take advantage of the services that Isis provides.

    ORS AWARDS SCHEME 1996

    The ORS Awards Scheme for Overseas Research Students, established by
    the Department for Education and administered by the Committee of
    Vice-Chancellors and Principals, provides awards for the partial
    remission of tuition fees to overseas postgraduate students
    registered for research degrees at UK academic institutions. The only
    criteria for the awards are outstanding merit and research potential;
    other factors, such as means, nationality, and proposed field will
    not be taken into account by the national ORS Committee. The value of
    each award is the difference between the 1996–7 univesity
    tuition fee for a UK/EU postgraduate student and the rate chargeable
    to an overseas postgraduate student for his/her particular course of
    study.

    Further information and application material for the 1996 ORS Scheme
    at the University may be obtained from the International Office,
    University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD (telephone:

    Accommodation for Lectures

    Trinity Term 1996

    The Chairman of the Curators of the Schools would be grateful if
    Professors, Readers, and University Lecturers who wish to lecture
    at the Schools in Trinity Term 1996 could inform the Clerk of the
    Schools at the end of the present term. It is necessary to know
    whether a room suitable for an audience of more than one hundred
    persons is required; only the three large writing-schools will
    accommodate more than that number.

    Leave for the use of rooms for lectures will expire at the
    end of the fourth week of Trinity Term.

    Afternoon lectures should normally finish by 6 p.m.

    Attention is drawn to the fact that overhead projection
    equipment and 35-mm projectors are available. When these
    facilities are required the Clerk of the Schools should be
    notified in advance.

        choice. The form should be sent as soon as possible to the Graduate
        Admissions Office as directed. When the dossier is complete, it will

        it will then be passed on to the college of first choice.

        Those who
        wish to be considered for this scholarship should write to the
        College Secretary, St Catherine's College, Oxford OX1 3UJ, giving a
        brief curriculum vitae and proposed area of research at
        Oxford (there is no application form). Any other means of financial
        support should be stated. In addition, candidates should arrange for
        two people acquainted with their recent academic work to send a

        and the college plans to interview short-listed candidates at the end
        of May. Nominations will be submitted to the Leathersellers' Company

        Wolfson College


        Wolfson Industrial Fellowships 1996–8

        Wolfson College proposes to make elections (if suitable candidates
        are proposed) to two two-year Wolfson Industrial Fellowships for the
        academic years 1996–8. These fellowships are intended to enable
        those working in industry to come to Oxford to engage in a joint
        research project with a university department.

        The intention is
        that the fellowships should give an opportunity for collaborative
        research which would not otherwise have taken place, but the college
        is prepared to receive proposals in respect of already established
        research projects.

        Proposers will be expected to negotiate an
        agreement with the company by whom the candidate is employed, under
        which the company would continue to pay his or her full salary but
        would permit him or her to spend one-fifth of his/her time on a joint
        research project in Oxford. The college is willing to consider a
        variation from this pattern to suit current conditions or individual
        circumstances. Wolfson College will offer up to £1,000 per annum
        towards any expense reasonably incurred in pursuance of the aims of
        the fellowship. Applications, which should include a curriculum
        vitae         of the candidate, should be sent to the President,
        Wolfson College, Oxford OX2 6UD, by the closing date, Monday, 1
        April. (There is no application form—applications should be
        marked `WIF'.)

        Godfrey Lienhardt Memorial Fund

        Applications are invited for grants from the fund, which has been
        established by Wolfson College out of a bequest from the late Dr R.G.
        Lienhardt `for the promotion of the Social and Cultural Anthropology
        of Africa south of the Sahara desert but excluding the Republic of
        South Africa'. Those eligible to apply are graduate students of the
        University, and those admitted as graduate students for the coming
        academic year, whose research falls within the specified terms of the
        fund. It is proposed to make one major award of £1,500, priority
        for which will be given to those engaged in field research, and a few
        smaller grants of up to £250.

        Application forms and further
        information may be obtained from the President's Secretary, Wolfson
        College, Oxford OX2 6UD. Applications must be submitted by Friday, 19
        April.
