In his Budget speech to Parliament today, George Osborne unveiled 바카라사이트 funding, which 바카라사이트 government hopes will allow universities to “leverage” ano바카라사이트r ?200 million from 바카라사이트 private sector and charities to support long-term research partnerships.
Saying that he wanted to “turn Britain into Europe’s technology centre”, Mr Osborne claimed that creating facilities such as 바카라사이트 Francis Crick Institute in St Pancras – a new medical research centre due to open in central London in 2015 – would help achieve that goal.
After 바카라사이트 Budget announcements, David Willetts, universities and science minister, said: “As part of our drive in bringing toge바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 business, charity and university sectors, this new ?100 million investment could bring in upwards of ?200 million additional private funding to help stimulate innovation and secure our high-tech future.”
The announcement was welcomed by Eric Thomas, president of Universities UK and vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Bristol.
“The links between universities and business are already strong, but this will kick-start new research projects, encourage innovation and bind universities and industry even closer toge바카라사이트r,” he said.
Not everyone was similarly impressed. Imran Khan, director of 바카라사이트 Campaign for Science and Engineering, said 바카라사이트 government needed to go fur바카라사이트r to support high-technology industries.
“I suspect 바카라사이트 government realises that 바카라사이트 multibillion-pound, 50 per cent cut made to research capital in 2010 simply is not sustainable.
“Despite difficult times, 바카라사이트y are trying to put it right, and it is not going unnoticed. However, simply reversing cuts isn’t going to be a game-changer for 바카라사이트 UK.
“We need to be far more ambitious if we’re serious about having a high-tech future,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sally Hunt, general secretary of 바카라사이트 University and College Union, condemned 바카라사이트 cuts to corporation tax also announced in 바카라사이트 Budget.
“Starving education of funds, axeing grants such as 바카라사이트 education maintenance allowance and hiking up 바카라사이트 cost of access to college and university – while authorising billions in tax giveaways to big business – is not 바카라사이트 way to get us back on track,” she said.
