Sarah Sayce.
With great sadness we record the death of our Chair, Sarah Sayce, FRICS, following a short illness. Sarah led the Trust through its transition to independence from the RICS, an organisation on whose Governing Council she sat for ten years. She had a long and distinguished career as a practicing chartered surveyor and an academic. At the time of her death, she was a Professor at the University of Reading, as well as Emeritus Professor, Kingston University and Chair of the Aubrey Barker Fund. Sarah was an inspiring leader who will be remembered with great fondness and respect.
The Trustees send their heartfelt condolences to Sarah’s family. |
Covid-19 announcement.As with other organisations, the work of the Trust has been disrupted in 2020. Due to this and the recent revision to our name and administration, we have had to temporarily suspend some of our activities, including the issue of new grant agreements and the making of research calls.
Despite this, we continue to process all research projects that are already underway, and we hope that reviews and publication dates will not be unduly delayed. What the trust supports.The Trust, as a charity, has a remit and strong track record of supporting, delivering and disseminating high quality, independent reliable knowledge and future thinking through research funding. It is administered by a Board of Trustees, comprising senior academics and professionals with expertise in surveying, real estate and the built and natural environments. The Trust funds research globally.
