Research England has published its budgets for university research and KE, continuing towards the expected total of £8bn funding over the spending review period.
The recognition of the excellence of the UK’s university research and knowledge exchange (KE) base, both domestically and internationally, are reinforced through these funding decisions. As is the crucial role that the UK’s universities have in supporting sustainable economic growth, enhanced productivity and in fulfilling the ambitions of the government’s Science and Technology Framework.
This continued funding commitment enables Research England to foster the vibrant and world-leading research and innovation system that allows us all to reap the benefit of the research and knowledge exchange happening in English universities, and in partnership with others, across the country.
The long-term, performance driven investment in universities in England by Research England provides a stable base for individual research projects as well as fast-moving collaborations between universities, businesses, and local partners.
