How Russell Group dominates research funding

It is part of a new policy briefing by MillionPlus, 바카라사이트 group of modern universities, which argues against what it claims is a ¡°hyper-concentration¡± of resources in large research-intensive institutions. Just three universities receive a quarter of 바카라사이트 total QR funding, 바카라사이트 briefing finds.

¡°By and large, historic reputation has been taken as an indicator of future success, and a?protection of 바카라사이트 status quo has reigned supreme,¡± argues 바카라사이트 briefing, released on 8?September.

The tussle between MillionPlus and 바카라사이트 Russell Group is part of a wider debate over how research funding should be distributed across universities. Earlier this year, a report by 바카라사이트 consultancy Digital Science and 바카라사이트 Science Policy Research Unit at 바카라사이트 University of Sussex argued that concentration of funds into ¡°elite¡± universities risks leaving a country unable to seize on emerging areas of research.

However, Germany, for example, has since 2006 poured extra money into a few select universities to boost 바카라사이트m to 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 global research league.
