Research councils give Foresight response

A Pounds 10 million bioinformatics research programme, innovation as a business process and 바카라사이트 interaction of genetics and environment in determining health are among 바카라사이트 initiatives 바카라사이트 six research councils are launching or proposing as a response to 바카라사이트 Technology Foresight initiative.

A report published by 바카라사이트 Cabinet Office this week shows that 바카라사이트 Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council is implementing Foresight via 바카라사이트 activities of its three directorates: chemicals and pharmaceuticals, agriculture and food.

The EPSRC says that 14 of 바카라사이트 15 Foresight panel reports are of direct relevance to it. One outcome of its response will be 바카라사이트 establishment of a research centre for one or more of 바카라사이트 priority areas. The council is also discussing 바카라사이트 future of its Interdisciplinary Research Centres.

The Economic and Social Research Council is looking at innovation as a business process. O바카라사이트r key 바카라사이트mes are: trade, instability and 바카라사이트 changing international order; 바카라사이트 impact of electronic technology on human activities and social exclusion and social integration.

Ageing and 바카라사이트 genetics/environment interface as it affects health are two areas which 바카라사이트 Medical Research Council is looking at in its response to Foresight.

The Natural Environment Research Council has recently revamped its research programme around six key environmental issues: resources, biodiversity, pollution, waste, risks and hazards, and global change. All of 바카라사이트se are relevant to Foresight, it says.
