正文(英文) | News story New university-business partnerships to boost jobs and local economiesUniversities are being encouraged to partner with local businesses today (Thursday 28 February), as ministers launch a multi-million pound fund to support their collaboration.
The rollout of new University Enterprise Zones will strengthen links between the research and expertise developed in universities, and ensure they further align with the needs of local businesses. UEZs are a form of ‘incubator’ that provide physical space and facilities for small businesses, where they access support, specialist facilities and knowledge. Helping universities to better understand what employers are looking for from graduates will inform research specialisms while allowing businesses to benefit from a university’s expertise. The move is part of the government’s modern Industrial Strategy to boost local economies by creating new jobs and harnessing the opportunities of the UK’s world-leading reputation in innovation. Treasury Minister Robert Jenrick and Universities and Science Minister Chris Skidmore launched the £10 million fund during a visit to Nottingham University, which has successfully piloted a UEZ that is supporting start-ups and enterprises in the East Midlands. The new scheme is funded through £5 million form the Research England Development (RED) Fund, with Chancellor Philip Hammond providing an extra £5 million at the 2018 Budget to allow up to 10 further UEZs to be established across England. The Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, Robert Jenrick, said:
Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation, Chris Skidmore, said:
University of Nottingham Vice Chancellor, Professor Shearer, West:
Director of Knowledge Exchange at Research England, Alice Frost, said:
The UEZs will increase the link between jobs, growth and productivity through a focus on incubation, and will complement university-business engagement activities funded through Higher Education Innovation Funding, and encouraged by development of the Knowledge Exchange Framework. As part of the launch, the government has published its prospectus setting out the criteria Universities must meet to establish a new UEZ. Universities interested in establishing a new University Enterprise Zone can now submit their proposals to Research England, with £10 million of funding available to them to help develop these plans.
