Details
UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) five-year strategy sets out how it will deliver its mission to advance knowledge, improve lives and drive growth.
The strategy details how, through our new mission, we will:
- fuel breakthrough ideas through bold, UK-wide discovery and curiosity research investment.
- tackle national priorities, such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum, clean energy and creative industries, crowding in at least £3 of private investment for every £1 of public funding.
- power the UK’s future economy by helping businesses start, scale and stay, and strengthening research and innovation clusters across the UK to drive growth
It also sets out how we will continue to support critical national infrastructure and our world-leading talent that strengthen the foundations of our R&I system. And how we will become more agile and efficient through greater use of our IT, data systems and AI-enabled approaches.
