UK Research and Innovation needs to be vocal on the challenges posed by Brexit, John Womersley, the former chief executive of the Science and Technology Facilities Council, tells Research Fortnight.
Research Fortnight asked those who have shaped British research in recent years what they thought of the rise of UKRI, in the days ahead of its official launch. This is what they said.
- Jackie Hunter: UKRI should explore different incentives to interdisciplinarity
- Alun Evans: UKRI should review balance of funding among areas
- Norman Lamb: UKRI will require continued scrutiny
- Robert Lechler: Let the councils keep their identities
- David Delphy: Beware of turf wars
- Geoffrey Crossick: Resist big shift to project-based funding
