Chairman's Report Une cannvt beLFin to iomment on any activities uIide¥taken in 2D22 witliour first acknowledging the llnivers21 sadness and feeling of loss experienced by the entire nation upon the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth11 on the 8,Septcmhcr. The impact ofThe Queen's pa5sinE was immense and the response frutn across the United Kingdom and beyond felt both person21 yet shared on a national and intcrnational scale as we all rcllc'ctcd ()n thc quict but %icadfa%t dc,diLation to scrvicc and ILadc'r%hip Her Majesty had shown within and outwith this Country for well over three quartcr.g of a century. The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 has been hugFely privileged to have enjoyed the generO￿S support of rhe Royal Fatnily sirjcc it5 cr¢atii)n and whilst thc late Queen had n(Tr fnrtnal rolc witli tlie Lommission, she nevertliLless ¥raciollsly paid an interest in our aitivities aiid kindly offered enLI)uragement and assistance whenever it was requesred. A slow but full re-emergence froni the con5traintS itnposed by the global pandcmic has bceii scen during 2022. Thc Rc)yal C.()TnmiN8ian tonlc the decision to re-establi%h the live event.% that ()ur Fellows and wider cofflinunity value sa much at an early stage and thus has enjoyed 2 cnmplete c21endar cycle of funLtiuns and evenings allowing our award holders co share and exchange their work and experiences. This was starred at the end uf March itl Fishtnon¥crs' Hall with the atrcndance of ur lTrrcsidcnt Her Rnyal Highnc5s The Princess Royal at the biannual President's Dinner. During the event Her Royal klighness saw examples OE work Erom across rhe Cominission's research and education programmes and spoke to a number of current Fellows about their work and its potential impact as well as spending time with the wider 1851 comtnunsty. Her Rnyal Highness al.%0 appointed three new Ruyal Comiiiissioners to the Board of Management, the theoretical physicist, uthor and broadcaster Professor Jim Al-Khalili, the renowned biomedical engineer Professor Eleanor Stride and myself. I was delighted that we were also able ro reinstare our annual Aliimni Science Evening in new venue, thc Dyson building at Impcrial Cmllcgt Londoii. Altnost a huiidred of u.fj enjoyed pre5entation5 from Drs'Ie5sa YounbF and Christuph SLhnedermann and Mr Rubert Ruuse and Ms Maral Bayaraa ()n subjects ranging from "characterizing the cobalc delivery pathway fol Vitamin B12" to'machine learning approache8 to asscssing futurc flood ri.sk" Thc kcynotc addrcs.% was given by l)rofessoi' Damc Carol Rr)binson, Royal conimi55ioiicr 2nd chair Id¢signat¢l of the 5cTr¢nc¢ and F,ngineerÈng Fellowship Committee, who shared highlights of both her early career experiences as well as the current focus of her work at the Kavli Inscitute.

young scientists, engin¢¢rs and dc5igners who wish to pursLte their work at the next level. This year the Iluyal Cummi55ion awarded eigyht re5earLh fellowships, ren industi'ial f¢lluwships, five enterprise fell(Trwships ind fourteen industrial dcsign.%tudLnt%hips, al()ng with the bi-annual desigii fellowship and a double award foi. the inaugural regenerative design fellowship. All told these programmes provided almost four million pounds of annual funding co support rc5carch and innovation. In November the IB51 Group) comprised OF the Chairs and Chief Executives of the l851 legacy instituriuns? gathered at the Royal Geographical Society to receive a report 011 SuuthKenZ¢n+- an initiative launched hy the Incal borough in 2021 til courdiT)atL Lffvrts t() tngkL AlhLrt()p()lis an xemplar £ero emission urban neighhourhood. The initial report received unanimous suppr)rt and ir was agreed thc1t the tnain elenients uf thE reLJmmenLled programme- Lero emissions, circular cconomies and bcing natllre po8itive- must be actioned with alacriry and ambition. A kcy cnabler of sucli aspirations is adequate financial support and $0 tlic Royal C.onimÉssinn agreed to provide funding fnr three years to allow for the LoTnpl¢tioii OF the next stage uf thi5 project. Indeed, an environmcnral focu.s has hecn at thc fijrefrnnr nF the charity's special awards activity more generally this year. In adclition to the support provided for SouthKenZ¢ii+, the Comniission has a15() awarded qignifiL2nr g>rants ro rhe Natural Histvry Musvutn's Urban Nature piojeLt and the Royal Horticultliral Society's Plants for Purpose programme. Our commitment to STEM based careers and educatioii for young people remains unditninished wirh ongoir)g grants being awarded to thc F.ducati()n and Trainiiigi Fouiidation for tlie 1851 Technical TeachinbF Trellow5hips and ST'EM Learningj as well as An award ro the Well Nnvth Enterpriseg "Skill.s City" projeer. The Commission has also re-affirmed its i'¢sponsibilities towards the development of rhe design disciplinc and cotnmunity with a special award to enable the Association uf Royal Designers foi Industry to hold summer schools in 2023 and 2024. Reflecting upon tlie Ruyal Ci?mmission's aLriviry during> the last year, l am vei'y consLious the work undertakLll 2nd thL supp(>rc offered would n()t bL possible without thc ¥LnLf05ity of vur LommittLL m¥inbers and my fclluw Commissioii¢rs and tlie LlediLation of our small permanent Staff. I want to take this opportunity tu expre55 my p¢rsonal thanks 2nd 2ppreLiation for all of their effLiris over the past 12 months. It has been a year of snme niajor changes in the people who make up our organisation. Having thoroLighly modernised the suppnrt structiirt of the executive and safely maintained our operations through tlie Lhallcngcs of two years of COVID restrictions, and after eleven years of dedicated service as thc Secretary, Captain Nigel Willianis retired fr(Trtn th¢ Commission in May. This was shortly followed by Professor Dame Kay Davies who stepped dnwn as a Royal Commissioner at the end of her ten-year terin of offi¢e on the Iloard of Management. Kay was a hugcly dEStingui5hcd and very active Inember of the 1851 Eamily and chaired the Science aiid Engineeringi Fellowsliip Comniittee duEing the latter part of her tenure. Finally> the end af the year saw che Chairman of the Board of Mai)agement and Ruyal Commis5ioiI, Mr Bernard Tayloi., take his leave. Alth()ugh Bernard hirn5elf made modcst rcfLrLnce ti) this in his 2021 report, it is imPL)rtant to aLknoWledg￿e agyain his iniredible commitment to and championship of both the R()yal Commission and rhe wider Albertopoli5 coininllnity> ovei. the past 17 ycars. I￿1￿&t as Chairman of the Trinancc Committee 2nd then as Chairman ()f thc Board ()f Managenient, his energy and passion for his duties and stewardship of the cultt]r21 district of South Ken.singt()n has been tremendous. Amongst his many achievcTncnts has been the re-cnergising of thc 1851 group? the development of the Cyreat Exhibition Road Festival, and The F.ngineer8 8ucce£sflll collaborarion with the BIIC. He has alsu been the driving Eorce behind the Conimission's support to a nun)her of c#pit21 prnjects ar horh ends of the est1( te that havc r¢sultcd in an 1851 Place by tlie Jloyal Albert14all, an 1851 Courtyard within the Royal College of Music 2nd ali 1851 G￿1rden that will l)e iiicorporated within the Natural History Museuni's i)ew landscaping. It was thLfLf()rL m()sr fitting that upon hi% rLtiremLnr fr()m thL B02rd of ManagemeT)t hL was prLsentLd with the 1851 Iloyal Coiiiniissioii Med21 by Her Royal l.qighness who attended tlie farewell dinner given in his h()n()ur. We were also delighted tliat liis cxeinplary service w25 also recognised by tlie award ofC,ommanderofthe Royal VictoriJn Order ICVOI in His Majesty's Ncw Year'sHonours List. As I take ovei. the role of C,hairman of Ihe Board ()f Management. l am extremely consciuus of rhe legyacy of my di5tjllbillished predece550rs all the way back to our founding l)rcsident, Prince Albert.

Since its. inLeption the 1851 Royal Commission has been committed to his vision a vision that remains crucially alibFned to the aspirations uf fflodcrii Britain and our continued ambition tn be one of the world's most innavative and productive tL()ni)mies. Like tny forebear5,1 r¢LUbinise that uur Lontribution tu meeting thi5 challenge is to maintain, and where practical, improve our education and research progratnmcs, conrinlle support for STEM piojects and interventions for young p¢ople whilst retaining active srewardship of thL Albertnpolis estate. I look forward tu workingi with my Fellow Commissioners, committee colleagues, 1851 Fellows aiid aliimni to deliver this ambition over the coming years. The Rr Hon Profcssor l.ord Kakkar KBE PC Fmedsci Secretary's Report l Lonsider it a gi'eat honour to have been given tlic privilege of holding the post of Secretary of the Royal Commission f(Ir the Exhibition Df 1851 in sllcces5ion to Nigel Williains. Rcplacins someone who has rnastered his role sn completely, is widely known and rcspcLtLd, and has heen extren)ely impaLtful duriiig his tenure is challenging enough, but when combined with the Commission's compelling storyy Its tremendous achievements and its inspiratiunal people, the future looks cxtrcmely dauntingl Having expei'ienced most nf an annual cycle of events15till, in tnoments of refl¢Ltii)n, wonder at tlie br¢adth of 2Ltivity th¥ Commission undertakLS and the qUiLt influenLe it wields. Through its research and educatiun Fellowship probirammes it provides hugely talentcd early career engineers, scienrists and designers the npportunity to undertalce innovative and vitally important work across che widest Possible gamut of disciplines. It provides much needed support to the sharing OF best practice teachiilgi methods in the s￿ondarY and further educatioii eiivironnicnt through its lechnic21 Teaching Fellowships and.4till has the resources to assist a number of STEM education projects. All overseen or as5iSted by a hijgely dedicated and COTnmitted group of Royal cnmmis8ioiiers and cotnmittee members and delivered through a very small but utterly devotcd and extremely industrioug executive team thL latter liaving also had to cupe with the SIL￿nifiCant additional burden of settling in a new Secretary. I have become an easily triggered, and nverly verbose enthusiastl Ic has also been an ¢normous pleasure to have been introduced to the othcr element tsf the Cominission's legacy- the great cultural estate of Albertopolis. Es'tablishing new rtlati(Trnships and working with thc institutions that occiipy South Kensingti)n has heen made very easy by the welcoming and Lollcgiate approach extended to me by all, and that experiencc has l)een mirrored within the widcr L(Trmmunity of the Exhibition Road Cultural Group and the Kiiight5bridgFe Neighbourhood Forum. l am very consCiOU% that my journey with the Royal Commission has just started. my familiarity with our charitable activities and local re8ponsibilities is growing with the help of much valued colleague5 and I look Eorward to what we might achieve together iii 2023.

The Work of the 1851 Royal Commission I'he Commission's aitll i5 tu'make a differeiiie, by providing educational fcllowsliips and tudent8hips to the very besr early career sLientists, engineers and designers. Success is hard to measure wichin thc confincs nf a single ycar hut Innked at over the longer term the Con)mission's achievement Is cvideiit, with 13 Nobel l)ri£e wiiiners and over 150 Fcllow5 of the Iloyal Socicty atnong it% previous award winners. The case studies of completing f¢lluws and summaries of alllmni achievemenrs later in this report als1) bear witness tn the C,ommissian's success. In addition to its core fellowship schemes, rhe Cotntnissiun also provides Special awards to its lebyacy institutioiis, to other organisations working to encoura¥c STF.M Isciciicc, technologyy engineering and mathematlLs1 education and to OLg3lll5atiuths that Can help faLilitate aLLe55 to Trts incredible archives.

A8 well as the granrs that it mal<c5. thc C,i)mmi%%i()n itself arganises a number of educthtional and iietworking evcnts for the benLfit of its award holders, alumni, Icgacy institutions and the general publiL, whiLh ti)b7CthLr makL a signifiiaiit iontribution tn S'I'EM cducatioii. The Commission was originally estsblished by Royal Charter in 1850 under the Presidency of Prince Albert, to orbFanise and stage the Great Exhibition. Held in the spectacular Crystal Palace, con%tru¢ted in Hyde Pqrk, it was rhc first ever World Fair, and the most sucLe5sful. With over six million vi.qitors, ir also madc a sub.%tantial prnfit.

When tliis hug¢ undertakiiig was complete, tl)ere remained sufficient funds For the Commission to initiate, in 1891, a prograniine of Eellowships 2nd studentship5 tu support pure rcscarch in scscnce and engineeringy applied research in industry? indu%tri21 design and nther projects. The Commi55ion continues ics work ro this dayy both inanaging its freehold estate and awarding almost £5m a year in research fellowships, design student5hip.s and othcr grant8. The prnvi.%inn nf long leases to the legacy colleges 2nd the Royal Albert Hall also makes a very subsranrial contribution to scientifiL, enginevring anJ artistiL eduiacioii. Public Benefit The Cominission ensures rhat its work 15 for the publiL berhefit and takes Eull acLount o( the published Charity Commission ¥uidance. The Commissii)n's events and awards programmes and support of tho Icsacy in.%ritutions represent idcntifiable benefits and arc availahlc to all cligihlc memhcrs olthe public.

The impact of such Special Awards may take some time to become apparent, but a brief look at son)e of the awards m2de in the la.st couple ofyear give5 a flavour of what can be achievcd. In 2020, the CD¥nmission grave a Special Award to tl)e London Transport Museum ILfMI to support their F.ngineering yoiir Neighboiirhood project, which ainied to create digital resourc¢5 for use during the QOVID pandemic which would raise the profile uf engii)eering with primary school children at a time when tnU5eutn visits were nut possible. The project foLused on one neighbourhood, Acton, an arca with same of the UK'S highcsc levels of deprivation where rhe museum has a Strong presence throU￿h Jepot. The project aimed to develop children's knowledge about tr2n.sport and engineeringy improve their perceptiuns uf tran5POLt aiid engineering careers, improve creative STEM skills aiid coinpeteiicie5 and improve pupils, perceptions of their local area.

Another Special Award, this time focused on secondary school children, built on research by the IIOYAI society and rhe Educatiun Endowm¢tLt boundation tl)ac ha5 fouiid that literacy skills are key to raising aspirations and cl()%ing the 2tt2inment gap in STEM subject4.. They arc also of course essential for employ2bility. In 2021 the CA)mmission gave a Special Award to the National LiterJcy Trust INLTI to enable them to roll out a digital te2Lli¥r training offer linking liter2Ly And LarLLfs Within STE,.M to 259 seLondary school science teaLhers wurl<ii)g in areas witli high number5 of disadvanrag7ed yL)uiig peuple. All C.PD activities were based i)n LvidL'nLL,d rLsLarLh of what Lonstitutes effecrive practice in the reaching of discii)linary litcracy in STEM. Pre and postcourse re2dins was provided to signpost further opportunitivs. A number of hiLh-profile STEM individuals were featured in the materia15, talkin¥ 2bout their career journey aiid the importance of lireracy in their workplace. An external evaluation lound that the traininL offered "well-struLtured, impaLtful and evidenLe- based insight for science teachers exploring rhe value and impnrtance of developing literacy ti) increase science attainment in school, as well a.% introducing l<ey improveinent strategies...and cuuld be used as a driver for increasinbi overall literacy as w¢ll as scienc¢ attainmeiit across the UK particularly in region5 at di%advantage" NLf report that as a result of the training they have seen a marked increase in requesrs from participating schools for NLT to train whole department% rathcr than just individual teachers. In one area, Stoke-on-Trent the training is now being m2de 2vailAble to all secondary mathematic5 teachers. It is roo early to evaluate how teachers whu attended rhe training sessions are implementing and cmbcdding it in practice, butNLT intend to conduct a number of case studi&s to follow up on this. Parts of the training materials, in particular the careers resources, are alsij heing made ayailahle on the Careers Corner part of NLI"s website, aimed at young people lookiiig to impi'ove their own literacy bkills. Thi5 section of the website receives approxiTnately 8,000 pagTe views per tnonch. As the examples above illustrate, the ConiInission Eunds a wide range of innovative STEM initiatives at varying scales, recognising that not all will achieve huge success, but in the hope rhat most will transform individual lives, and some will go on to hav¢ eonsiderablc reach. Needles.5 to say) not 211 Special Awards proieed completely smootlilys and many reLent awards are sufferinLT sibFnificant delays in implenienration as a result of clie pandemic. Nevertheless, anecdotal evidence suggests that it is intcrvcnti()ns such as these that can Inake all the differen¢t in S¢imiilatin£ young pcople to become the scientists and engineers of tomorrow and the Commission remains committed tu doin what it can. As well as funding STEM outreaih projects, the Commissiun a15u pruvide5 Sp¥Lial Awards to enl)ance its legacy estate in South Keiisington and lielp the world leading insfiiutioi)s (If Albertopolis to extend their reach.

Report by the Chairman of the Finance Committee Introduction The Board L)[ Managyement has appointed the Financc Committee as a sub-committee to supcrvi5e the C.nmTrtis.8ion'.s fillanccs and iiivestment.4' thi,% C()minittLL mLLts at Icast iwice a ycar. I w()uld like to thank all niemb¢r% of the Committee f()r their ongoing valuablc contribution in overseeing the C.ommission'4 finanies. During 2022 there wcrc two formal meetings of the C,ommittee. In the spring meeting we reviewed the annual accourhts and met with tlic Cummission's auditor5. We also heard presentations from the inYe.stments m2n2gers. In che autumn meeting the Cumtnittee EoLused un reviewing the investtnent btrate£y for the Commi%Eion, recoEnising that the r¢turn OE inflarion and 3 less aLcvmm()dative monetary environment would be challensing Eor markets. Investme17t I'oli£y Ovcr the long term, rhe Commission Élms to disburse 4 /0 per annum of the trailing thret-year averagc value of thc pi)rt(i)lio. Flowcvcr, thc c.ommission hafj few if any fixed liahilitie.g and annual budgets include an allowance for Special Awards that cali be adiu5ted without deti'iment to (Trthcr programmes so this can vary from year to year dcpcnding on grant making opportunities and investment return5. The invcstment objective is to generthte & return of at least inflation plus 4 /0 per annum uver th¢ long term. after expenses.'l-his should allow thc C.OTnmission to at least maintain and ideally grr)w the real value of rhe asscts, whilst gyeneratinby a stable and siistainable Leturn to fund annual expenditure as set out ahove. Tlie Finance c.ommittee has determined that the Enflation measure inost relevant to the Com¥nission's expeiiditurc is the Conslimer Pricc Index. The Finance Committee is ch2rged with a6Freeing a high-level asset allocation strategy with the investmenr InanabT¢I'b, which is set so a5 to achieve the oycrall Commission investment objective. The Finance C,r)mmittee will revisit the scrategyic asset allocation, and Lonsider the need for tactical dcviatÉons from it, on at least an annual basis. The Finance Commitree is responsible for identiEying and munitoring investment iiianager5 and investment vehicles for the Commission. I'h¢ Commission adopts a total retlim approach to inve.%tmenty generating the investment return from income and capital gains or loss¢s. Recognising rhe likely volatility of the capiral, the Commission will typically aim to generate an overall inLomc return of between 2 /0 and 3 /0 per annum to reduce the risk that losses will need to be ¢ry.%t211ised to fund committnents. The C,ommission r¢L()gnizes that longy term investment is subjeLt to marlcct. pulÈtiC21, economic, iounterparty and i)thc.r risk8, Wlth financial instabiliiy in partiiular heing a key risk. ThL Cotnmisgioii also recogni£es IDng-terin itiflation 2S 2.%ignificant risk to the long-term.qustainability of its activities and one that the investment policy should mitigate against. 'I'he trustees are able to tolerate volatility of th¢ capital valLie, 2s long a.% che C.ommis%ion is able ro mcct it% shc)rt-term grant making cotnmitincnts through either income or liquid capital asscts.'lo allow for vo1atil￿tY of capital valucs, the triisrees wish tu tnaintain at least £5m in casli ur lower risk fixed incom¢ investmeiits. Bcaring in mind incomc gencrated by the portfolio and tlie flexibility ro curtail Special Awards, thi5 should allow tliree y¢ars' worth of Fellowships to be funded withouc iieedingF to sell rssk assets.

1¢ is not practical for the Commission to engase directly with individual companie5, hut it does expect its investmcnt managers ro report annually un their engagement activities and results. The Comniission expects its investment managers t() apply ESG consider2tions to both segregated hnldings and pu()Icd h()Idings, takingF acLount of the exteIit to which suitable alternative inYe5tment vehiclcs arc available and bearin% in mind de minimis con5iderativDs. The c.ommission will oiily appoint managers who aL¢ SiLFiiatoiies to th¢ IJN R)rinciples of Responsil)le Envcstment IUN PRI) and will take into acc()unt the ranking assigFned to those managers by the UN I)111. I'he Cofflmission may exclude certasn stocks or sectors whcrc the%¢ are seen to be in direct conflivt with its objecrs and aLtivitie4. Equally) where Lunsistent with the fiiianiial objeLtive5, the Commission scek5 to invest in 2reas with positive environmental and l or social impact, such as clean energy and various areas of new technoloLy. The Commission recnBnises thar climate chang¢ 15 a key challenge for the next decade and that limifing grlobal t¢mperature rises will require signifiL2nt cliange in busines.%, investtncnt. tcclinnlogy devclopment and fossil fuel u5¢. The Commission monit0[5 the carbon emissiuns of its niain equity iiivestment portfolio and through its investment manager%.%eek8 t(Tr I'educe these emissions over time. The Cumn]ission is v¢ry aware, however, that certain Lompanies and sectors that are critical to the transition to net zero are currently carbon intensive. The Commission dues not exclude investment in such sectors biitexpects its invcsttnent managers ro prioriti.se investment in companies rhat have a carbon reduction roadniap aligned with the goals of thc l)aris Agreement. Investment l)erformdnce 2022 2022 was anorher challenging ye2r fnr investors.
