One of the top UK government officials in Dubai has welcomed De Montfort University Leicester’s plans to open a new campus in the country later this year.
Simon Penney, the UK’s Consul General for Dubai and the northern emirates, said he was pleased DMU would offer academic excellence from DMU Dubai, the university’s new branch campus, set to open in Dubai Academic International City in September.
Along with recognizing the new campus, Penney also acknowledged DMU’s upcoming role at Expo 2020, being held over six months in Dubai from this October.
The UK pavilion at Expo 2020 is being operated by the government’s Department of International Trade (DIT) and DMU is working closely with the team as one of the pavilion’s only official founding partners.
Over the many weeks of the festival, DMU will exhibit much of its leading research in areas such as sustainable fashion, smart reuse of waste plastics and creative applications for artificial intelligence.

Power of local government eroded over decades, report concludes
Local authorities have seen a ‘steady erosion’ of their autonomy by central Government over the last four decades, a new report has concluded.
Commissioned by the campaign group Unlock Democracy, ‘Local Government in England – 40 Years of Decline’ looks at the relationship between central and local Government. It also focuses on finance, services and representation.
Written by members of the Local Governance Research Centre (LGRC) at De Montfort University Leicester, the report concluded that the balance between councils and Westminster has ‘increasingly tilted towards the centre, leaving local government and the communities it serves weakened.’
