🎙️ The news story also features a follow-up interview with Ivy Gao - great to hear how projects like this can be so rewarding! Plus, as Cleo's article observes, it links to our ongoing #KnowledgeExchange efforts between Imperial College London, Imperial Consultants (ICON), and external partners.
🗃️ 📰 Ivy conducted fascinating primary research in archives and newspapers to uncover this story about Professor Bernard Holman: who, while at Imperial College London's Royal School of Mines, reopened an abandoned Roman gold mine in interwar Wales. /more

📚✍ Please do read what I wrote on OVfM and its predecessors for the excellent @historyandpolicy.bsky.social: historyandpolicy.org/policy-paper...
✅ What I do know is that OVfM will now become a case study within Project Hindsight's Metaforecasting portfolio (learn 👉 projecthindsight.org/metaforecast...), as we explore the many ways different people and orgs have imagined, and tried to shape, the future over time 🔮
📉 And, most interestingly, its prototype projected efficiency savings modelling up to 2035 👉 gov.uk/government/p...
❓ It's not clear who will follow up, and update, these forecasts for the coming decade, though the report mentions several options. I hope it goes well!
