The Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford made the official announcement of the new Peter Philipps Scholarship, which will be available to a postgraduate student in Engineering Science.
The Peter Philipps Foundation was established by the Airdri Group in memory of its founder, engineer and entrepreneur Peter Philipps. The social impact foundation is focused on projects in education and sustainability.
Bruce Philipps, President and Group CEO, the Airdri Group, says, “It is a very special honour for the Board and team at the Airdri Group to see the first Peter Philipps Scholarship for a postgraduate scholar in the Department of Engineering Science. The social impact foundation in Peter Philipps’ name was established by the Airdri Group – the international business he founded over 50 years ago. As an entrepreneur and engineer, and Oxford-based businessman, Peter was a trailblazer. Everyone at the Airdri Group and the Peter Philipps Foundation looks forward to supporting the chosen student.”
The University of Oxford announcement referenced the synergies between the work in the Department of Engineering Science and that at the Airdri Group. “Airdri’s origins are rooted in mechanical and electrical engineering, and the company’s contemporary use of engineering technology relates fittingly to current areas of research at the Department, including fluid dynamics, air movement efficiency, and electrical systems.”
