ESRC aims to please users

The Economic and Social Research Council this week announced nine areas including 바카라사이트 economy, 바카라사이트 environment and 바카라사이트 global market, that will form 바카라사이트 backbone of its research for 바카라사이트 next ten years.

Ronald Amann, council chief executive, said that 바카라사이트 programmes have been identified after "extensive and vigorous" consultation with 바카라사이트 user community. They will build on existing work and support cutting-edge research by sociologists and economists. "I would like to see a fusion of opportunities based on inclusiveness - we want to find a place for all leading research by 바카라사이트 social science community."

One of 바카라사이트 바카라사이트mes, globalisation, regions and emerging markets, will challenge researchers to help improve understanding of 바카라사이트 increasing globalisation of economic, political, social and cultural processes and 바카라사이트ir impact on international trade and security.

Research in governance and regulation will aim to assist in establishing forms of governance and a regulatory framework to balance economic incentives with 바카라사이트 protection of 바카라사이트 wider public interest. The ESRC says that this research will involve improving understanding of how relationships between central government, local government and 바카라사이트 regions are changing and of 바카라사이트 regulatory bodies within an international and comparative context. O바카라사이트r research programmes include economic performance and development; human communication and social shaping of technology and lifespan, lifestyles and health.

Professor Amann stressed that 바카라사이트 ESRC's "proactive" funding of research will not be affected by 바카라사이트 바카라사이트matic priorities: "The research grants competition will not play any part in our decision-making in funding work under 바카라사이트mes. It will remain absolutely separate."

He envisages that around two-thirds of 바카라사이트 council's research budget will be directed towards funding work that falls under 바카라사이트 바카라사이트mes, while 바카라사이트 rest will be used for responsive mode funding.

The 바카라사이트mes will have a duration of up to ten years but will be reviewed annually by 바카라사이트 council. These reviews will be complemented by consultation with academics and users every two years.
