During Professor Parker\u2019s tenure at Rolls-Royce, he built a broad portfolio of competitive products differentiated by world class technology, resulting in Rolls-Royce becoming No.1 in the wide-body airliner engine and large corporate aircraft engine markets and No.2 in the Defence aero-engine market.<\/span><\/p>

The Rolls-Royce philosophy of \u201cinvent once, use many times\u201d has been actively pursued by Prof Parker with many technologies and capabilities developed in one sector transferred to others. For example, hollow titanium fan blades for Civil Aerospace applied to Defence (on JSF LiftSystem\u00ae) and advanced 3D computational fluid dynamics developed for aerospace applied in Marine.<\/span><\/p>

The flow of technology has been achieved through promotion and growth of the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) model, now 31 UTCs globally with 800 staff (450 studying for doctorates) enabling the company to form long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with leading academic institutes. This network has created a cross-cultural working environment in areas of science, applied research, staff training, and technology transfer.<\/span><\/p>

The UTC network is widely recognised as the exemplar for efficient and effective university<\/span><\/p>

& industry collaboration, and has been vital in providing technology support for product development in addition to fundamental research. In addition to opening new centres in the UK, UTCs have been developed in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Italy, USA, Korea and Japan, all under Professor Parker\u2019s tenure.<\/span><\/p>

Under his stewardship the annual number of patent applications has risen from 250 to 600 highlighting the focus on development and capture of valuable and innovative intellectual property.<\/span><\/p>

Having been involved from the earliest discussions on the Joint Technology Initiatives well in advance of FP7 [and the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking as one of these 5 ground-breaking proof-of-concept PPPs], Prof Parker\u2019s astute judgment, vision and leadership has been of resounding importance to the success of the Joint Undertaking and Clean Sky programmes. As Chairman from May 2014 his contribution has been instrumental: Prof Parker led the JU through the formative period of preparing, proposing and successfully launching the \u20ac4billion Clean Sky 2 programme under H2020, while \u201ctending to business\u201d in terms of ensuring the initial Clean Sky programme under FP7 was brought to a resoundingly successful close. His technical and scientific judgment, management experience, leadership and consensus building skills across a wide array of stakeholders, extensive network throughout the industry, and political antenna have greatly served not only the JU and its members, but the entire aeronautical community.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
