V good @FT @timleunig piece, with hard truths about UK economy & what needs to be done about it, relevant to both parties This para is striking - small firms are lionised, but it's big firms that drive productivity & R&D, & we don't have enough of them ft.com/content/72c273…

Does the sequence in which firms receive R&D grants and tax credits matter? New paper from our @scienceirel funded project. Joint work with @kmulligans @PerezalanizM & Christian Rammer. doi.org/10.1080/136627…. @BusinessAtUL @UL_Research @QUBBusiness @zew_en @industry_innova

There has been a great deal of discussion about *what* our industrial policy should fund — but far less about *how* to fund it. That needs to change, because the status quo — industrial-policy-by-tax credit — is rife with problems. My latest: americanaffairsjournal.org/2024/08/implem…

There is huge potential to improve government by securely linking and analysing data held across many different parts of it. We need robust political leadership to make this the rule, not the exception, writes our Chair Sir Robert Chote⬇️ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Three Reasons we should place a higher value on Meta-Research #MetaResearch wp.me/p4m9em-c8J

The long term sources of growth are ideas, R&D, technology and its adoption argues @danielsusskind (which implies a rather central role for @SciTechgovuk) on.ft.com/4cZfdKB

Another great hope of the UK's tech industry falls into foreign ownership. Not sure what to think of this - clearly Graphcore needs backers with deep pockets to realise its potential, but what stops UK capital markets playing that role? Ownership = control, and that matters.

The next EU R&I Framework Programme (#FP10) should strengthen synergies between funding instruments and programmes at European and national levels. 🇪🇺 Read more about this and other recommendations in EUA's vision: bit.ly/xEUAFP10vision

Over the last decade we’ve seen the rise of university policy institutes. (I’m involved with @policyatkings @BennettInst @UCLPolicyLab personally). It’s great to see @CAPE_acuk has done some lesson learning on what works cape.ac.uk/2024/07/11/gro…
