In the midst of a slow recovery from recession, what steps must UK university and business leaders take to maintain knowledge-led, sustainable economic growth?
Critical research-intensive industries are looking for more and better sources of new knowledge to create tomorrow's goods and services - could more universities provide that knowledge?
In the first significant public event after the announcement of the spending review, the publishers of Research Fortnight are bringing the worlds of cash and content together under one roof. For one day only you can discover how to maximise university-industry partnerships; network with leaders from academia, business, thought leaders and policymakers; and tune into the latest debates and thinking on the future of research funding and policy.
Sustained investment in UK science and technology over the past decade has created strong and internationally competitive research universities, but these institutions are now facing an uncertain future. Join us on Wednesday 3rd November in shaping the funding and policy climate for the next 10 years.
