The UK government has ambitious plans for a National Data Library, and a lot of the important technical choices remain to be made.

Together with @wellcometrust, @esrc is running a Technical White Paper challenge to invite proposals for how to make it work best!

You may have seen the news yesterday that the future of UK In a Changing Europe was in doubt, and that ESRC is not providing further funding.

UKICE is a superb project that we are honoured to have been able to support. I thought it would helpful, in the spirit of openness, to explain the processes and rationale that lie behind this, and our future plans for funding impact-focused social science.

What would an R&D capability to support government missions look like?

In the spirit of thinking out loud, some suggestions on the role of evidence, data, and innovation methods like challenge prizes and innovation procurement.
