Inaugural Lecture Series: The Art of Smarter Manufacturing (18/11/2026, 14:30)

Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:49:39 +0100

The University are inviting students to the first lecture in this year’s Inaugural Lecture Series, with Professor Javaid Butt, Professor of Additive and Sustainable Manufacturing. College of Creative Arts, Technology and Engineering.

Strengthening our research culture at BNU this lecture will show how research questions evolve, how different disciplines can converge around a complex problem, and how experimental evidence can move from the laboratory towards industrial application. This inaugural lecture reflects on Professor Javaid Butt's research journey and considers how these technologies are changing the future of manufacturing.

Industrial revolutions have continually changed how products are designed, manufactured, and delivered, with each wave creating new relationships among people, machines, and information. Additive manufacturing marked an important development within this evolution by enabling components to be built layer by layer directly from digital designs. Its significance extends beyond rapid prototyping to complex geometries, material efficiency, product customisation, and new approaches to production. Professor Javaid Butt's journey began within this changing landscape. It has explored the design and development of additive processes, the behaviour of advanced materials, and the manufacture of products with tailored properties. His work revealed a recurring challenge. A digital design describes what we intend to manufacture, but the performance of the finished product emerges from interactions between the material, process, machine, and operating environment. Addressing that challenge shifted his work towards combining physics-based simulation, artificial intelligence, and digital twins to understand process behaviour, predict product performance, and support more informed manufacturing decisions. Through funded collaborations with industrial partners, he has translated these approaches into practical applications addressing product development, process reliability, quality, and resource efficiency. These industrial applications have reinforced the need for digital models that remain connected to the physical process and evolve as operating conditions change. A digital twin provides this connection by linking a physical system with a virtual representation that is updated through data. Simulation can explore how the system may respond under different conditions, while AI can identify complex relationships and accelerate predictions across large design and process spaces. When supported by validation and engineering expertise, these technologies can improve process control, product development, maintenance planning, and production decisions.

A major highlight of Professor Javaid Butt’s career has been building research communities that connect academic excellence with practical industrial and societal impact. This has included leading multiple externally funded projects, mentoring colleagues to secure their first external funding, developing research-informed project-based learning in engineering, and creating international digital manufacturing education programmes.

BNU's Inaugural Lecture Series

Inaugural lectures celebrate the achievements of newly appointed professors and provide an opportunity for colleagues across the University to engage with and learn from their research and impact.

This is an excellent opportunity to hear about Professor Butt’s research, ask questions and engage in discussion. The event is free and open to all.

Chiltern Rangers - Green Thursday Sands Bank Scrub Bash & plant! (22/10/2026, 10:00)

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:55:23 +0100

This is an External Event please sign up on the Eventbrite link

Transport & Address:

The minibus will be running as usual for anybody who wishes to get a lift from the Lido car park (The Rye, High Wycombe). The bus will leave at 10am promptly. Or you can meet us on site at 10.15am.

We will be working at Sands Bank Nature Reserve. We will meet on site at 10.15 am and finish at approximately 3pm. We will meet in the overflow car park of Adams Park Football Stadium. Free parking is available here. The nearest postcode is: HP12 4HS.

You don't need to print off your Eventbrite ticket!

The Task:

We will be carrying out scrub management on Sands Bank. We need you lovely volunteers to assist with the scrub bash, raking and a bonfire!

We'll also be planting wildflolwers to encourage butterflies and insects.

Many people ask us why we are doing this as a scrub-bash can often look destructive. It is an essential conservation task, giving the chalk grassland much needed breathing space so wildflowers can grow providing a welcoming habitat to different species.

Timings (please note these timings are approximate):

10.00: Minibus departs Lido

10.15: Arrival for safety briefing, please don't be late!

11.30: Tea & coffee break

13.00: Minibus arrives back at depot & home time!

The Chiltern Rangers team may stay on longer than 1pm and you are welcome to stay. Just bring a packed lunch to keep you going!

What to bring:

Please bring your gloves (we will have spares) and dress for the weather and the task.

Long trousers are advisable as there may be ticks and thorny vegetation. We also recommend wearing steel toe capped or sturdy boots rather than trainers.

Wear layers that you can remove if you get hot whilst working. Bring a waterproof as most of our sites have no shelter from the rain.

Give It a Go Fortnight (12/10/2026, 00:00)

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 14:17:35 +0100

Starting university is all about new experiences, new people and discovering things you never knew you enjoyed. That’s exactly what Give It a Go Fortnight is all about.

Taking place with Bucks Students’ Union, Give It a Go Fortnight gives students the chance to try out a huge range of activities, sports, societies and volunteering opportunities – with no pressure to commit to anything straight away.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, get active, learn a new skill or simply try something completely different, there’s something for everyone.

Never tried it before? Give it a go!

You might have always wanted to try a new sport, get involved in a society or take part in a creative activity, but never quite got around to it. Give It a Go Fortnight is the perfect excuse.

You could try something you’ve never done before, join an activity with friends or even turn up on your own. You don’t need to be an expert, and you certainly don’t need to know anyone beforehand.

These activities are designed to give you the chance to have a go and see what you think.

Make friends along the way

One of the best things about getting involved is meeting people outside your course.

Heading along to an activity can be an easy way to start a conversation, especially if you’re new to university or still finding your feet. You might arrive knowing nobody and leave with a new group of friends – or at least a funny story to tell!

University isn’t just about lectures and assignments. It’s also a chance to discover new interests and make the most of your time at university.

Give It a Go Fortnight is your opportunity to explore what’s on offer without having to make a big commitment. Try a society, have a go at a sport, get creative, volunteer, learn something new or simply take part in something that looks fun.

You never know – the activity you try for 30 minutes could become your new favourite hobby.

The best part? You don’t have to be good at it.

Give It a Go Fortnight is about trying, not perfecting. You might discover a new passion, meet someone you wouldn’t otherwise have met, build your confidence or simply have a brilliant time.

So, check out what’s happening during Give It a Go Fortnight with Bucks Students’ Union, pick something that catches your eye and give it a go!

You’ve got nothing to lose – and you might just find your new favourite thing.

SHUTDOWN ft. NSG (23/10/2026, 22:00)

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 14:10:33 +0100

Shutdown returns for a special Black History Month celebration, headlined by one of the UK's biggest Afroswing collectives - NSG.

Formed by a group of friends who met at school and grew up around Hackney, NSG have Ghanaian and Nigerian roots and have built their distinctive sound by bringing together Afrobeats, hip-hop, dancehall and UK rap influences. Since releasing their first music in 2013, they've grown into one of the most recognisable groups in the UK Afroswing scene.

Get ready to hear massive tracks including "Options", which reached the UK Top 10, alongside "OT Bop," "Lupita," "Ourself," "Trust Issues" and more. NSG also made history when they became the first act to reach No.1 on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart when the chart launched in 2020.

Hellfire Caves Fright Night (30/10/2026, 18:00)

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 11:17:02 +0100

Tickets are released on 5th October at 9:00am

Fright Night at Hellfire Caves

Date: Friday 30th October 2026

Time: 18:00-20:00

Location: Hellfire Caves, HP14 3AH

Description:

This Halloween, Fright Nights at the Hellfire Caves unleash the horrors of a world warped by nature gone wrong. Enter if you dare, and face the Creatures of the Night – beasts twisted by toxic spills, folklore gone feral, and ancient spirits awakened beneath the surface. Not for the faint-hearted.

Halloween Decorations

Venture into a corrupted world where nature has turned against itself. The Hellfire Caves are dripping in toxic decay — vines glow an unnatural green, shadows crawl, and eerie sounds echo from deep below. This is no ordinary Halloween…

The Tunnels of the Mutated

Forget toys — this year, the tunnels teem with twisted wildlife, radioactive spirits, and creatures reborn from myth and mutation. Every corner holds a new terror, creeping closer with every step you take.

Live Actors

Beware the beasts. Our performers become the night’s worst nightmares — from glowing-eyed forest dwellers to grotesque hybrids of man and monster. They’ll stalk, screech, and slither their way into your memory.

An Unnatural Atmosphere

As darkness falls, the caves come alive with hissing mist, eerie lights, and the smell of scorched earth. The air hums with the energy of something unnatural — something watching.

Money saved through the BIG DEAL: £20

Graduate Attributes: Creativity, Self Development, Social Awareness.

Access information: Please note due to the nature of the caves and the width of the tunnels, the Hellfire Caves are unsuitable for wheelchairs. In parts they are steep, narrow, slippery and dark. The floors are uneven and some of the ceilings are low.

If you have any access questions, please pop us an email!

Transport is not provided for this activity.

You will be sent all relevant information 2-3 days before the event, if you do not reply to this email by the date stated, your place will go to someone on the waiting list.

The Big Bucks Meal Deal

A project derived from the cost-of-living campaign run by Bucks Students' Union to make sure you are fed and well. The campaign aims to tackle food poverty within the student community at BNU by The Lounge hosting three free hot meals a week. This is funded and supported by BNU and delivered by Bucks Students' Union.

Where is it?

When is it?

Three times a week on Tuesday and Thursdays 5PM-7PM (or when they run out!) and Sundays from 6PM - 8PM. You'll just need to bring your student ID and a good appetite.

This is all free to help with the cost-of-living crisis.

Thames Valley Air Ambulance Open Day (24/10/2026, 10:00)

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 11:06:57 +0100

Transport will be Provided

In May 2024 we unveiled our new Operations area and Clinical Education space, part of an expansion of our existing HQ in Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire.

The new facilities mean that, while our helicopter continues to fly from RAF Benson, our fleet of Critical Care Response Vehicles now operate from Stokenchurch. As well as bringing most of the crew and charity staff together under one roof, the newly expanded HQ brings our cars closer to vital road networks via the M40, ensuring speedy access to those in need.

The expanded HQ has state-of-the-art facilities and bespoke areas, designed with crew in mind. In our Operations area, there is a spacious kit room to re-pack after a callout and a wellbeing room, so that crew have a place to relax during a rare moment of downtime. For the first time ever, we have a dedicated space for Clinical Education. Here, critical care paramedics and doctors can train for all eventualities and practice complex procedures in realistic conditions.

Our 2026 Open Days are a unique opportunity to see 'behind the scenes' as well as finding out more about how the charity has evolved in it's 25-year history and how your support keeps us at the frontline of saving lives.
