Abstract
Compared to many parts of the world, the UK has under-invested in its infrastructure in recent decades. It now faces many challenges in upgrading its infrastructure so that it is appropriate for the social, economic and environmental challenges it will face in the remainder of the 21st century. A key challenge involves taking into account the ways in which infrastructure systems in one sector increasingly rely on other infrastructure systems in other sectors in order to operate. These interdependencies mean failures in one system can cause follow-on failures in other systems. For example, failures in the water system might knock out electricity supplies, which disrupt communications, and therefore transportation, which prevent engineers getting to the original problem in the water infrastructure. These problems now generate major economic and social costs. Unfortunately they are difficult to manage because the UK infrastructure system has historically been built, and is currently operated and managed, around individual infrastructure sectors.
Because many privatised utilities have focused on operating infrastructure assets, they have limited experience in producing new ones or of understanding these interdependencies. Many of the old national R&D laboratories have been shut down and there is a lack of capability in the UK to procure and deliver the modern infrastructure the UK requires. On the one hand, this makes innovation risky. On the other hand, it creates significant commercial opportunities for firms that can improve their understanding of infrastructure interdependencies and speed up how they develop and test their new business models. This learning is difficult because infrastructure innovation is undertaken in complex networks of firms, rather than in an individual firm, and typically has to address a wide range of stakeholders, regulators, customers, users and suppliers. Currently, the UK lacks a shared learning environment where these different actors can come together and explore the strengths and weaknesses of different options. This makes innovation more difficult and costly, as firms are forced to 'learn by doing' and find it difficult to anticipate technical, economic, legal and societal constraints on their activity before they embark on costly development projects.
The Centre will create a shared, facilitated learning environment in which social scientists, engineers, industrialists, policy makers and other stakeholders can research and learn together to understand how better to exploit the technical and market opportunities that emerge from the increased interdependence of infrastructure systems. The Centre will focus on the development and implementation of innovative business models and aims to support UK firms wishing to exploit them in international markets. The Centre will undertake a wide range of research activities on infrastructure interdependencies with users, which will allow problems to be discovered and addressed earlier and at lower cost. Because infrastructure innovations alter the social distribution of risks and rewards, the public needs to be involved in decision making to ensure business models and forms of regulation are socially robust. As a consequence, the Centre has a major focus on using its research to catalyse a broader national debate about the future of the UK's infrastructure, and how it might contribute towards a more sustainable, economically vibrant, and fair society.
Beneficiaries from the Centre's activities include existing utility businesses, entrepreneurs wishing to enter the infrastructure sector, regulators, government and, perhaps most importantly, our communities who will benefit from more efficient and less vulnerable infrastructure based services.

Planned Impact
The outputs from the Centre address real-world problems in both the public and private sectors. To this end, our work streams on 'Innovative Business Models' and 'Knowledge Exchange' are closely coupled and the Centre's approach is rooted in a 'Learning and Dissemination Framework' designed to engage users with the Centre's research and build routes to impact. The impact plan is aligned with the HM Treasury Green Book for 'Appraisal and Evaluation in Central Government' to achieve a meaningful improvement in the design, delivery, finance and management of efficient, sustainable, resilient UK infrastructure. Beneficiaries are spread across a wide variety of industrial sectors, government agencies, and business interests. The Centre will galvanise contributions from these disparate communities and offer leadership and ambition to generate national direction and global impact. In addition to the core sectoral players in energy, transport, water, IT, and waste networks, our achievements will impact a range of commercial, governmental, and citizen groups.
Commercial actors such as utility operators, investment groups, and consultancy firms will draw value from being involved in shaping vanguard business models and public/private investment platforms, as well as benefiting directly from their testing and application. In the longer term, both industrial and financial organisations will benefit from ownership of a broadly legitimized portfolio of infrastructure investment and management options, from a deeper understanding of the risk - reward profile of different business models, and from the incorporation of relevant protocols into the design codes and standards of professional organisations. Industrial and commercial entities will also profit from the evolution of a common cross-sector infrastructure vocabulary which will be cultivated via the various engagement events hosted by the Centre. These impacts will enhance the domestic and international economic competitiveness of a substantial number of UK businesses.
The regulatory community will benefit from a structured and broadly informed consideration of the feasibility of a cross sectoral or super-regulator able to internalise interdependencies. The Centre's review of the appropriate allocation of the range of risks deriving from infrastructure operations will also be of significance to this community. Regulatory bodies as well as local and national government will benefit from a previously unexposed evidence base upon which to posit policy and regulatory interventions, and from a set of entirely new models of interaction with the private sector, and new models of governance. In the longer term government can also expect increased tax take from the global profits of UK infrastructure/financing/consulting.
The Centre will have significant and lasting impact on the networked utility sector (both private and public) through a series of at least 20 structured seminars, workshops and debates over the course of the Centre's lifespan, with expected involvement of more than 300 senior policy makers, academics and industrialists from across the water, waste, ICT, energy and transport sectors. It will also generate a step-change in the UK's skills capacity in relevant areas through training a new cohort of multidisciplinary infrastructure specialists at both MSc and PhD levels.
Ultimately, the value of the investment made in both this and the second funded centre must be judged by the improved robustness and efficiency of the nation's infrastructure base. In this context, we are resolved that communities across the country, but particularly those in our urban conurbations, will enjoy more reliable and affordable networked utility services in the future, thereby enhancing quality of life as well as health and safety. The public will be able to engage with, and keep informed of, the Centre's activities though a web site, social media, and a series of public events.

| Description | The development of new business models for interdependent multi scale multi sector infrastructure services and systems across all of its lifetime is now a critical issue to HMG and the UK. Interaction with the National Infrastructure Commission and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority on the basis of the work carried out in ICIF has shown considerable traction and guidelines, consultation documents and white papers are showing significant changes as a result of ICIF work. UK business is now in active converstaion with ICIF members on how to take forward the findings in commercial and regulatory practice; the PI has been elected to be a special adviser to the National Infrastrucure Commission; CIs hold a number of advisoty roles in other public infrastructure bodies International impact has occurred through conversations with the Chief scientist of Australia and senior figures in Singapore government. attendance at four ISNGI events has also shown considerable impact on global research. |
| Exploitation Route | The positions and connections that have been developed through ICIF and are described above will be matured and expanded within the UKCRIC programme envelope; it is considered likely that we will continue to use the ICIF construct for the international element of UKCRIC. See http://www.ukcric.com/ International collaborations initiated through ICIF have been extended through the work of UKCRIC. Two notable Examples of this are i) ICIF's role as the lead UK collaborator on the ISNGI symposia series has been continued through UKCRIC. UKCRIC hosted ISNGI V (ISNGI 2017), and used the event which brings together the international research and practitioner communities to officially launch UKCRIC. ii) Work on the Resilience of Infrastructure Systems to the disruptive impacts of Black Sky Hazards continued through UKCRIC and the ENCORE Network who extended the collaboration with the EIS Council to host a second workshop in February 2018, which in turn has led to a collaboration between the Resilience Shift and EIS Council. Collaborations with UK partners initiated through ICIF have also continued through UKCRIC. For example, UKCRIC in collaboration with Resilience Shift and Arup undertook a literature review into the resilience of digitally connected infrastructure systems on behalf of the National Infrastructure Commission. Additionally UKCRIC has continued ICIF work in contributing to CIRIA work on resilience, leading to a recently published briefing note on INfrastructure Resilience. More broadly, ICIF's emphasis on Resilience as one of its ICIF Grand Challenges may have been one factor contributing to the decision to commission a special study into REesilience by the NIC. Finally, A number of the ICIF team have continued to collaborate on IPA Project X. |

| Description | Updated Text March 2022: Many collaborations initiated under ICIF continue to go from strength to strength after the completion of ICIF. This is largely thanks to the input of members of the UKCRIC Co-ordination Node team (Grant ref: EP/R017727/1). In particular, these include the continued success of the ISNGI International symposia series (isngi.org), collaborations on systemic resilience with Lord Toby Harris, initial through the Electric Infrastructure Security Council (EISC) and now through the National Preparedness Commission. Original text March 2021 Consultations by National infrastructure Commission Guidance documents for all Public sector infrastructure projects by HMT and IPA Development of business cases for infrastructure research by Australian Federal and State govts and NZ national governments Advice to very wide range of government and city governments in UK International collaborations initiated through ICIF have been extended through the work of UKCRIC.

| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Bacs operates the UK's payment infrastructure, an enabler to many other businesses. The Market Dynamics Modelling Research investigates what a well-functioning financial market looks like and how Bacs account switching service can help to achieve it. The Bristol ICIF team bring to this research their expertise on model validation, learning journey framework and systems thinking fo infrastructure refresh. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The Bristol ICIF team wants to understand the roles of various actors in the design, construction and operation of infrastructure systems. A particular attention is paid to whether and how the capability of learning enables or hinders people and organisations' resilience.

| Results and Impact | This event took place on 21 February 2017 at ICE in London. The event audience was intentionally interdisciplinary and included delegates from government departments, regulatory bodies, consultancy, third sector, infrastructure industry and other university research projects. The event was supported by participation from Keynote Guests from Arup, TFL, ICE, the Ecological Sequestration Trust and the Future Cities Catapult. The event was structured around four grand challenges identified by synthesising the key messages in the ICIF white paper collection and coming from other elements of ICIF research. It included, expert interviews, research exhibition, research showcase, question Time panel and world Cafe conversation all designed to present research on, gather perspectives regarding , catalyse broader debate, enable follow-up discussions between ICIF researchers and those present at the meeting, or between delegates who were able to share ideas at the meeting. All delegates received a USB credit card containing selected ICIF outputs and contact details. Additional Follow-up resources are already available on twitter at #icifGC and will be available shortly (before the end of March) on the ICIF website. The response to the event was very positive, and ICIF dissemination will continue beyond the life of the project based around the grand challenges identified through ICIF's research and used to structure the meeting. |

The purpose of this event was to engage with potential audiences for strategic infrastructure performance indicators across UK infrastructure sectors to explore 5 questions • As an end user of infrastructure what characteristics of the services it delivers that you value most highly? • From the perspective of the major infrastructure industry sectors, what do you think about current infrastructure performance indicators? • What information must indicators for making decisions about the future communicate? • From your sector's perspective what performance information would be valuable from other infrastructure sectors (e.g. those in your supply chain) to make decisions about improving your own sectors performance and the experience of your end users? • From your sector's perspective what performance information would be valuable that only make sense at the system-of-systems level to make decisions about improving your own sectors performance and the experience of your end users? This workshop led to further engagement with Infrastructure UK and the production of a process to facilitate Infrastructure UK to create outcome-oriented performance indicators and a supporting report. Infrastructure UK (now Infrastructure Projects Authority) have expressed an appetite to disseminate this work to a broader audience and apply for their needs in the National Infrastructure Plan. Two academic papers are currently being writem on the backl of this work for publication in the ICE academic journal. Additionally, the research underpinning the process has helped to inform ICIF's response to National Infrastructure Commission consultations, has led to authorship of a thought piece in Infrastructure Intelligence and briefing notes for the ESRC and CIRIA. |

| Results and Impact | ICIF are supporting Ibuild to develop an important conference for the dissemination of I build, ICIF, ITRC, Mistral, Liveable Cities and other infrastructure systems research relating to infrastructure value and valuation. This work is primarily led by Prof Andy Brown University of Leeds. This is an academic conference intended for the dissemination of research outputs, the intended audience is broader than academics, to include contacts at those organisations that have been in regular contact with the research centres organising this conference. The conference will include several interactive sessions and several panel debates in addition to the more traditional presentation of academic research findings. It is anticipated that at least five members of the ICIF research team present research as part of this event, and that ICIF will actively support at least one of the four interactive sessions (details to be confirmed). The event is on 26 April 2017 |
