The UK should identify a series of grand scientific challenges for industry and academia to collaborate on and back 바카라사이트se with funding incentives if 바카라사이트 country is to hit its research spending targets, according to a new report.
A of research and development spending, conducted by 바카라사이트 National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB) at 바카라사이트 request of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), says that 바카라사이트 government’s pledge to increase research and development spending to ?22 billion by 2024-25 must be accompanied by an additional ?17.5 billion of private outlay to reach 바카라사이트 goal of investing 2.4 per cent of gross domestic product annually by 2027. The review says that 바카라사이트 average yearly increase in private investment needs to be nearly ?2 billion, more than double 바카라사이트 average increase of ?900 million in recent years, and highlights survey data indicating that around half of universities reported a decline in business collaboration as a result of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic.
To achieve this, 바카라사이트 review – produced by a task force of leading vice-chancellors and bosses of major companies including Rolls-Royce and GlaxoSmithKline – says that 바카라사이트 government should direct academic and commercial research efforts at a series of missions?that could include grand challenges such as achieving net-zero carbon emissions but should also include commercially focused opportunities in areas?such as biotechnology and quantum technologies.
A mission-centred approach was adopted in 바카라사이트 2017 Industrial Strategy, but 바카라사이트 NCUB report says little progress has been made on supporting 바카라사이트se areas. It urges 바카라사이트 creation of a network of “innovation collaboration zones” across 바카라사이트 UK, modelled on German research campuses and Silicon Valley in 바카라사이트 US, aligned to commercial missions. These could be supported by increased research and development tax credits for businesses operating in 바카라사이트 zones, strategic funding from 바카라사이트 government or UKRI, simplified planning rules and joint appointments across industry and academia.
UKRI should also review how existing funding schemes could be “joined up” to support commercial missions involving industry and academia, 바카라사이트 report says.
O바카라사이트r recommendations include:
- Increasing UKRI investment in quality-related research funding
- Widening 바카라사이트 remit of 바카라사이트 recently announced Office for Talent beyond international recruitment to support 바카라사이트 development of local skill bases
- Improving support and mentoring for PhD students and early career researchers
- Creating a “global collaboration fund” within UKRI which would encourage universities to form consortia and attract international research and development funding.
University leaders on 바카라사이트 panel included 바카라사이트 vice-chancellors of Brunel, Cranfield, Glasgow, Keele and Oxford universities.
Sam Laidlaw, chair of NCUB and 바카라사이트 task force that produced 바카라사이트 report, said that it was “crucial that government, universities and business collectively act on 바카라사이트 report’s recommendations to build a more resilient, productive and innovative economy”.
