I have enjoyed very much this international conference on nuclear structure. It is my great pleasure to summarize what we have learnt in this conference.


I am indeed honoured to have been given the opportunity of proposing the toast of the Royal Society on occasion of its 306th anniversary, and of being here tonight to celebrate the most ancient and famous scientific society of the world. It is for me a great pleasure to find here so many old friends among the members of the Royal as well as among the guests that came from many countries of the European continent and from various parts of the world, and in particular to have been invited by you, Mr President, to whom I am bound by long admiration and friendship. I have still vivid in my memory the recollection, of when, shortly after the end of my university studies, I attended the international conference on nuclear physics that was held in Rome, in 1931. Among the participants to the conference there were famous scientists such as Bohr, Bothe, Compton, Millikan and Mme M. Curie; among those coming from the U.K. there were Aston, Ellis, Fowler, Richardson and Townsend, all Fellows of the Royal Society. You were there, Mr President, and so was Nevill Mott; both of you, together with Fermi, Heisenberg and Pauli also present there, represented the new forces already fully established and still in their most productive and promising phase.

The articles in this special issue of Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning are based on presentations at a series of remote seminars organised by The Open University (UK), titled ‘Avoid Photocopying the past – re-designing HEIs to reduce inequitable outcomes for BAME students’. The first seminar (15 July 2020) proved so popular that parts 2 (6 October) and parts 3 (3 December) were added. The theme continued into Day 1 (of 4) of The Open University???s Access, Participation and Success (APS) Biennial International Conference held online in March 2021. This special edition therefore includes five articles which originated as presentations focused on research around race and ethnicity in higher education (HE).

It is a source of great pleasure to me, as it must be to all our friends here, that we are once again able to meet in an International Conference after the long years of war and its aftermath. I need not speak of what the War has meant to national welfare or the private lives of many here. But it was inevitable that it should have gravely affected the progress of the cultural studies to which this Institute is devoted, not merely because it has made so serious an interruption in their pursuit, but because it has for a time severed the international contacts and broken up the intellectual partnerships on which much of the vitality of our work depended. Even to-day, it is not easy to foresee the time when some of these partnerships can be resumed in their old form, much as we might ourselves hope that changes in national relations should not be an obstacle to association in the field of cultural studies.
