Hermann Bondi was a promoter of the open mind, free debate and solutions based on facts. He welcomed a challenge. So should we. In this stimulating talk, Sir John Boyd examines the rise of Asia and our understanding, sense of history, objectivity and policy balance in responding to this challenge. He considers how we can help the next generation embrace the skills needed to deal with a radically changed world and the role universities should play. Sir John Boyd was the master of Churchill College, Cambridge from 1996 to 2006. He was also the British ambassador to Japan between 1992 and 1996. In 2007, Sir John Boyd received the Grand Cordon of the Rising Sun from the Emperor of Japan in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the promotion of friendship, as well as academic and cultural exchange, between Japan and the UK.
