Judith Rosenberg – Scotland’s last Auschwitz survivor leaves £500,000 gift to Strathclyde University

Judith Rosenberg has recently given a most generous gift to Strathclyde University. Her donation will go towards the creation of the Harold and Judith Rosenberg Chair in Quantum Technology and the Harold and Judith Rosenberg Quantum Technology Laboratories in their honour.

The Harold and Judith Rosenberg Chair in Quantum Technology will be funded for an initial period of five years. However, given the anticipated calibre of the Chair appointment, the post is expected to become self-sustaining in the longer term.
