A fab new report from @JoyAston, @RAEng_Hub and @Beauhurst out today! It's a really rich resource bringing together data on diversity, geography, investment in UK spinouts to help us understand what it takes to build successful spinouts. And more to come!

[Royal Academy of Engineering @RAEngNews]

We're delighted to reveal the new report written by @RAEng_Hub and @Beauhurst is out today. Spotlight on Spinouts delves into data to develop an understanding of the UK's #spinout landscape. What does it take for a #spinout to thrive? See the findings: https://t.co/wyc70XuFal

COVID-19 impact on businesses and universities has put R&D at risk - measures to stimulate R&D for a better and faster recovery are needed to stay on track to deliver the government's ambitions and build back better https://t.co/8f0rFLvmW4

📢Updated explainer! Investing in R&D is key to delivering solutions to challenges from the latest good news on vaccines to net zero, economic growth, resilience and improve people's lives. The scale of the challenge to reach 2.4% should not be underestimated (1/2)

[Royal Academy of Engineering @RAEngNews]

Ahead of Wednesday's #SpendingReview, the UK National Academies have updated our Investing in UK R&D explainer with the latest available data. In 2018 £37.1 billion was invested in R&D, up from £34.8 billion in 2017: https://t.co/anCQBhGJA2 #IncreasingRandD

Really interesting to hear from Ottoline Leyser – taking a whole system view of the R&I ecosystem with UKRI as its steward and focusing on the people, connectivity and flow through the system. Plus beautiful graphics! #caselecture20

[CaSE @sciencecampaign]

The UK R&D system needs to give everyone the opportunity to take part and benefit @UKRI_CEO #caselecture20

"These costs are high, but we think they are an essential investment to avoid wasting taxpayers’ money and to advance fundamental research towards beneficial applications."

[Royal Academy of Engineering @RAEngNews]

NEW: We welcome #Budget2020 commitments to double public spending on R&D. However, investment is also required to turn research into real world solutions and successful businesses. Read our full response here: https://t.co/CXvPlyNxUm

Is the UK getting innovation right? @nesta_uk providing insight into public perceptions and priorities - food for thought on how to engage more/better with the public on innovation and what people think it should deliver (and a good question on what UK ARPA success looks like!)

[Nesta @nesta_uk]

Our new report examines public attitudes to innovation and found that people want innovation to solve both social and economic issues https://t.co/LcB177N5GZ
