The University of Leicester has confirmed plans for a £14m project to create a new conference centre, complete with catering facilities.

Gurminder Bhambra, professor of sociology and director of the Social Theory Centre, University of Warwick and former students of University of Sussex, has supported recent protests about outsourcing.

Rob Bean from the University of Leicester and Ivan Hopkins from Nottingham Trent University have made the shortlist for the 2013 Craft Guild of Chefs Awards.
