Science Minister, Jo Johnson, has today (26 October 2017) announced that Professor Jennifer Rubin has been appointed Chief Executive and Executive Chair Designate of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Sir Harpal Kumar has also been chosen as the Innovation Champion of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Professor Rubin will continue as Chief Executive until the end of March 2018 and, upon the creation of UKRI on 1 April, will become ESRC's Executive Chair. Executive Chairs will be crucial to delivering UKRI's mission to maintain the UK’s global leadership in research and innovation. They will lead each of the nine councils that will be part of UKRI, and the role will combine the responsibilities of the current Chair and Chief Executive of each council. Sir Harpal's appointment as the UKRI Innovation Champion is in addition to his role on the UKRI Board. As Innovation Champion he will promote innovation and business interests within UKRI and will sit on the Innovate UK Council. Announcing these appointments, Science Minister Jo Johnson said: “UKRI’s Executive Chairs will play a vital role in our Industrial Strategy by strengthening the UK’s global research competitiveness, and Professor Rubin’s wealth of experience ensures that she is well positioned to lead one of our councils through this transition. “Along with Sir Harpal being made Innovation Champion, these appointments are key to ensuring UKRI is truly interdisciplinary, representing a broad range of research interests, while aligning our R&D sector more closely with business.” Sir Mark Walport, UKRI Chief Executive Designate said: “Professor Jennifer Rubin has a first class academic background in social science and public policy and is ideally placed to lead ESRC to support and champion economic and social sciences within UKRI. Sir Harpal Kumar will bring great experience from his time in business and his distinguished leadership of Cancer Research UK to ensure that the voice of innovation is at the heart of UKRI.” Professor Jennifer Rubin said: “Rigorous social science can be transformative. When brought to bear on pressing challenges from antimicrobial resistance to low productivity, excellent research can make a contribution to improving outcomes for people, communities and economies. I feel privileged to be asked to lead the ESRC in supporting and developing world-leading social science, as well as the skills and data to understand and address societal issues together with colleagues under the new umbrella of UKRI.” Notes to editors
