ABSTRACT
The BP Institute is a major new research initiative at Cambridge University funded by BP AMOCO and involving five departments: Earth Sciences (which will provide the administration), Applied Mathematics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Engineering. The Institute will consist of a University Officer from each Department; a Professor, who will be the first Director, and four Lecturers, whose posts will be endowed by BP AMOCO. The officers will hold their posts in the relevant departments, where they will do their teaching. Their research groups will, however, be housed within the Institute at the Department of Earth Sciences
