Dear, Vice Chancellor Edinburgh University
I am doing research for some of the first 20 partners of George Soros OSUN network announced at the World Economic Forum and intended to unite capacities of youth and scholars of Sustainability Development Goals
My father Norman Macrae worked on the sustainability of technology and the sdg generation at The Economist through late 1940s to early 1990- he had served as a teenager in world war 2 navigating airplanes over modern-day Bangladesh and Myanmar, experienced last year of being taught by Keynes, was awarded Japan Emperor of Order of Rising Sun for helping introduce Prince Charles and Akio Morita at Tokyo Olympics 1964
I started his last research project in 2007 involving 14 visits to Bangladesh upto 2018, many sponsoring graduate journalists and trying to get a journal of new economics started up around Adam Smith scholars
I made some false early steps around Muhammad Yunus but then the Japan Embassy in Dhaka and Sir Fazle Abed hosted a remembrance roundtable which focused on the future of brac university 8 years ago- that's how I became interested in all of brac partners and various briefings Sir Fazle Abed shared with us on the university being the legacy
We had hoped through 2020 to unite Japan friends at Tokyo 2020 with many university partners at cop26 as well as many who like the idea that Scotland is now 260 years into being the origin of studying man and machine intel as well as moral purposes of markets ie Adam Smith and James Watt
Fazle Abed, who died Dec 2019, was himself a 200 year alumni of that learning curve graduating in engineering at Glasgow University in 1960
I think that it would be huge if both Edinburgh and Glasgow University discovered OSUN was an optimal network for them and the future of Scottish youth in a brexit world- i still don't understand if cop26 will be zoomed like your CGIU was- or if both cop26 and CGIU @ Edinburgh University will be real next year- i suppose in the era of virus everybody needs a real and virtual plan
Is there a member of your team we could discuss this further with? I could start by making sure the vice chancellor of brac universIty Vincent Chang explains his connections including with Ban-Ki Moon global climate adaptability and with Duke of Edinburgh award scheme experiential learning, the Yidan Prize and several of the partners that made brac's coalition the number 1 sdg partnership in the world
yours sincerely
