正文(英文) | 27 March 2017 Today Research Councils UK (RCUK) has launched reports detailing the impacts of a collective investment of £3.4 billion in 2015-16. This investment drives economic growth by helping to deliver the UK's Industrial Strategy of increasing productivity, creating high-value industry, jobs and a skilled workforce. These impact reports showcase specific examples of the impact of investment through our various awards, programmes and collaborations. The wide-ranging nature of the impact extends from furthering technological advances to combatting disease to breakthroughs in the creative economy. From a purely financial and business perspective that £3.4 billion of research funding has already leveraged an additional £229 million of funding from other partners. That is an additional investment of 7% from commercial, international and academic partner organisations wanting to work with UK researchers. In addition that research has already led to the creation of 57 new spin-out companies and 182 instances of new intellectual property. Professor Philip Nelson, Chair of Research Councils UK, said: "These latest impact reports are valuable documents because they not only show the breadth and diversity of the research the UK research councils fund but also draw attention to the benefits science, engineering and the arts and humanities bring to the lives of UK citizens." "Often these positive impacts go unnoticed because they are connected to processes that go on behind the scenes or they are in areas that enable other areas of science, technology and wider research to move ahead. However, these are important stories to tell as they inform the public and can also inspire tomorrow's engineers, scientists and researchers." In medical research alone a 17% return on public investment has already been reported. Whilst internationally the work supported by the UK research councils has led to new relationships with over 5,000 partners in 88 other countries, placing UK research at the centre of a truly global research landscape. Key examples of major success thanks to the support of the Research Councils UK include:
These reports lay out how investments align to the strategic goals of the UK research councils and how they have delivered outcomes as well as pulling out highlights that show where long-term investments in the UK's research base and researchers have led to significant scientific advancements and innovations.
