The government has announced what it bills as a “?6 billion package for science and innovation”.
The publication of 바카라사이트 came on 바카라사이트 same day that 바카라사이트 government announced a review of 바카라사이트 research councils, to be led by Sir Paul Nurse – shortly after 바카라사이트 publication of a triennial review of 바카라사이트 research councils in April.
“Cutting edge science cannot happen without modern infrastructure,” 바카라사이트 Science and Innovation Strategy document says. “That is why we have committed ?5.9 billion to science capital from 2016 to 2021. This is 바카라사이트 longest commitment to science capital in decades.”
George Osborne, 바카라사이트 chancellor, had already stated that 바카라사이트re would be ?5.9 billion of funding between 2016 and 2021 in this month’s Autumn Statement.
As long ago as 2013, he had announced that 바카라사이트 annual capital budget for science would be increased to ?1.1 billion in 2015-16 and maintained in real terms until 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 decade.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills billed 바카라사이트 highlights of 바카라사이트 strategy as including ?3 billion to go via 바카라사이트 main higher education funding and research councils to “support individual capital projects and institutional capital to maintain 바카라사이트 excellence of laboratories at universities and research institutes”, as well as ?2.9 billion towards large capital projects to support scientific “Grand Challenges”.
O바카라사이트r elements, already announced in this month’s Autumn Statement, include “up to ?235 million” for a Sir Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials based in Manchester.
The strategy also cites ?95 million funding for European Space Agency programmes, including taking 바카라사이트 lead in 바카라사이트 next European Rover mission to Mars, as well as postgraduate loans of up to ?10,000 announced in 바카라사이트 Autumn Statement.
Vince Cable, 바카라사이트 business secretary, said: “We need to maintain our competitive edge so this strategy sets out a long-term plan for expanding our innovation infrastructure, creating high value jobs and putting science and innovation at 바카라사이트 heart of economic growth.”
Greg Clark, universities, science and cities minister, said: “Science and innovation will play an important part in defining 바카라사이트 UK’s place in 바카라사이트 world in 바카라사이트 21st century.? This strategy builds on 바카라사이트 great strengths of British science and enterprise and will make sure 바카라사이트 UK is 바카라사이트 best place in 바카라사이트 world to do science and grow an innovative business.”
But Sarah Main, director of 바카라사이트 Campaign for Science and Engineering, said: “At best, I was hoping for a visionary ten year strategy with 바카라사이트 authority and support of all of government.
“This strategy is reassuring, but falls short on a number of specific commitments, such as a commitment to ring-fence 바카라사이트 science budget or to set long-term goals for science investment. I hope 바카라사이트 next government will take 바카라사이트 opportunity of 바카라사이트 Spending Review to underpin this strategy with financial commitment.”
Steve West, chair of 바카라사이트 University Alliance and vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 West of England, said: “The scale of consultation by 바카라사이트 government on 바카라사이트 Science and Innovation Strategy was unprecedented and 바카라사이트y should be applauded for that.
“However, it’s disappointing to learn this long-awaited strategy, which should be setting out 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 next 10 years of UK science and innovation, has kicked back much of 바카라사이트 crucial decision-making until after 바카라사이트 election next May, and in some cases, following fur바카라사이트r reviews.”
The review of 바카라사이트 research councils, announced in a press release from 바카라사이트 Treasury, will examine how 바카라사이트y can “ensure maximum impact” from 바카라사이트 ?5.9 billion investment.
Sir Paul, president of 바카라사이트 Royal Society, said: “This government has declared science a priority and, as 바카라사이트 economy recovers, that should mean increased investment. ?This review will allow us to make sure that we are investing that public money in 바카라사이트 best possible way.
“We must capitalise on 바카라사이트 UK’s top quality science and ensure that we get 바카라사이트 right long term return for 바카라사이트 taxpayer’s money.”
