Coordination Node for UKCRIC
Lead Research Organisation:
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
Department Name: Civil Environmental and Geomatic Eng
Abstract
UKCRIC is based around (i) a linked network of physical test facilities, integrated with (ii) a series of "living city" observatories, through which the functioning of cities and infrastructure and how people actually use them will be monitored, analysed and assessed; and (iii) a distributed capability for infrastructure data, visualisation, modelling and simulation.
UKCRIC does not have a single geographical home. Each academic partner leads a theme and contributes to others, giving a strong collaborative network with multiple centres and connections between them. This spreads the benefits geographically and into teaching programmes throughout UK HE. It does however mean that a strong, sustainable, collaborative leadership/ management/ coordination function, distributed but centrally directed and able to represent the UKCRIC community as a whole, is needed to realise the full potential benefits.
This proposal is to fund coordination and leadership of UKCRIC as a whole, and its multidisciplinary research programme, through a Coordination Node (CN).
The aim is to provide coherent and globally-respected leadership of UKCRIC in
*setting the transdisciplinary research agenda
*delivering collaborative, multidisciplinary moving towards transdisciplinary research while ensuring that facilities are used widely, fully and effectively
*ensuring the results of research are implemented for the benefit of society, the environment and the UK economy.
The objectives are to
*establish and maintain governance and operational structures and protocols, including criteria for engagement, collaboration, use of facilities, and expansion of initial membership
*engage stakeholders to develop an holistic, multi-disciplinary vision and research strategy, with key emphases on society, sustainability, resilience and global opportunity
*foster trans-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder working, learning and knowledge sharing across UKCRIC's research portfolio, while ensuring wide, full and effective use of facilities
*identify and exploit opportunities and pathways for impact, mechanisms for innovation and advocacy for influencing policy
*develop the next generation of research leaders, address the skills demands of the infrastructure sector and coordinate doctoral and other high-level training
*progress a business model for sustaining the CN after the proposed funding expires.
Benefits: UKCRIC will address near term issues such as optimising investment and use of infrastructure. In the longer term, it will develop new materials, techniques and technologies. At the highest level, it will understand how to make the system of systems that constitutes a nation's infrastructure more resilient to extreme events and more adaptable to changing circumstances and contexts, and how it can provide services that are more affordable, accessible and useable to the whole population. It will also develop new transdisciplinary areas of activity that set research and policy agenda in the infrastructure arena.
The CN will add value through being transformative in viewing and exploiting emerging findings through an integrated infrastructure/ urban systems lens, engaging directly with a range of stakeholders including industry, city leaders and other end users. Research will be shaped by a range of considerations and voices, to give a multi-faceted understanding of future infrastructure systems demand, and how this might be shaped by societal and financial interventions. It will consider how, where and when technological, engineering and process advances can be exploited to best effect across the infrastructure and urban systems landscape, while allowing for the development of potential disruptors and changes in philosophy, eg from "predict and provide" to "decide and create".
Added value will also be achieved through coordinating a large set of research activities, drawing on existing work, to promote and deliver overarching cross-disciplinary goals.

Planned Impact
UKCRIC and the CN will engage and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, disseminating project findings and knowledge, providing an organising and coordination function for researchers and practitioners in core and allied fields of enquiry, and bringing a new diversity of contributions to stakeholders' notice and deliberations. While each individual research activity will have identifiable impact, the CN's role will be to (i) generate additional opportunities for impact at national and international scale by exploiting the critical mass of UKCRIC, (ii) advise PIs on impact pathways, (iii) support projects in dissemination and impact activities, and (iv) add value to project outputs, syndicating and integrating outputs across industries, sectors, and within an urban futures context.
Academic communities benefit as the CN will lead and facilitate collaborative transdisciplinary research, provide skills development in state of the art experimental apparatus and advanced numerical simulation and observational methods, ensure that research is informing teaching, and inspire the next generation of professionals.
Societal and economic benefits are very large. We shall break new ground in cultivating the infrastructure sector's capacity and ability to make use of science and engineering knowledge and innovation generated through UKCRIC. Interdisciplinary and cross-sector opportunities exposed by collaboration across the consortium have the potential to spawn game changing technologies and techniques. Our interventions will energize and broaden the scope of interest and exploration, thereby countering the often parochial outlook of sector based industries. Economic and societal impact will be achieved by
* engaging users in the definition, delivery, and exploitation of the research strategy and project portfolio - through the Stakeholder and International Advisory Boards together with more locally and sector based workshops, seminars and meetings
* establishing co-ownership of ideas developed, which encourages potential users to try out new technologies in practice
* disseminating project and integrated results to the wider user community, through articles in specialist trade and professional magazines and journals
* engaging with the media in the production of articles and programmes for the popular press and television; through existing links with journalists and producers
* contributing to popular science events including national and regional Science and Engineering Festivals, local interest groups, schools and activities aimed at encouraging minority groups to engage in engineering; using existing and new links with established programmes
* maintaining a high profile social media presence
* engaging with policymaking bodies and reviews; through the IAB, committee membership and submitting evidence in response to specific consultations, and researcher secondments.
Beyond the UK, the magnitude of the UKCRIC investment and ambition has already earmarked it as an initiative of international import and potential influence on global decisions on infrastructure policy and practice. Strong links exist between individual UKCRIC universities and major institutions with comparable research agendas in other countries. Enhancing the depth and breadth of these associations in order to attract research sponsorship and coordinate enquiry agendas across global problem sets is critical to the sustainability of UKCRIC in the medium to long term. Ensuring significant profile for UKCRIC and its outputs on the international stage will be achieved through; (i) targeting key conferences for multiple UKCRIC submissions and special sessions, (ii) organising journal special issues, (iii) developing formal partnerships with similarly ambitious initiatives in other countries, (iv) engaging with global players in the infrastructure and future cities field (e.g. United Nations, World Bank, OECD, European Investment Bank).

| Description | On 1 April 2023 UKCRIC ceased to receive UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) grant funding and moved to a membership model. We wish to thank our current members for their commitment to what is a unique collaborative undertaking. UKCRIC's success is wholly the success of our members and the result of their time, energy and collaborative spirit and in 2023 we published our five-year plan for growth in the form of the UKCRIC Roadmap. If your organisation is not already a member and would like to become one please email us at hello@ukcric.com. UKCRIC is transforming infrastructure and cities research and development. Its vision is to connect policy and practice with internationally leading, systems-based transdisciplinary research for the transformation of infrastructure and urban systems to enable safe, resilient and sustainable living, and to generate wellbeing and prosperity for all. Its mission is to use its integrated research facilities and capabilities to underpin the renewal, sustainment and improvement of infrastructure and cities in the UK and elsewhere. UKCRIC aspires to become a national research institute in infrastructure and cities. By engaging academia, government, practitioners and end users, UKCRIC de-risks, helps to prioritise, and provides evidence, analysis and innovation for infrastructure and urban investments for a safer, more resilient and more sustainable future: connecting research with policy and practice in infrastructure and urban systems. Read more at www.ukcric.com |
| Exploitation Route | UKCRIC has unrivalled knowledge and capability to deliver systems-sensitive solutions for infrastructure and urban systems practitioners as well as helping to address nationally and globally significant research challenges. We also recognise that we have much value to add for our members and partners by providing a voice into Government to help address these challenges. UKCRIC actively engages with the National Infrastructure Commission, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority, the National Preparedness Commission, the Net Zero Infrastructure Industry Coalition, National Academies, relevant government departments, policymakers, local authorities, industry bodies, standards bodies, regulators, owners, operators, managers, financers, insurers, think tanks, and many others to influence their thinking on their approaches, roles, authorities, procedures and activities for the future. Investment sharing between Government and UKCRIC has generated a suite of mission-oriented research facilities of unparalleled value to the UK science base, economy, and society. Continued investment will ensure that UKCRIC's full potential is realised: in doctoral and post-doctoral academies to secure a pipeline of research and practitioner talent; in targeted research and innovation programmes to deliver new underpinning science; in higher TRL (technology readiness level) projects ensuring cutting-edge research underpins current practice; in supporting engagement activities with policymakers and practitioners; in adding value to the nation through the long-term collaboration of its research-intensive higher education institutions; in leveraging UKCRIC's national research facilities in infrastructure and urban systems; and, in a lean integration function to ensure that UKCRIC continues to be a truly cross-regional, transdisciplinary, collaborative venture with meaningful relationships within academia and with industry and government. UKCRIC is a catalyst for the co-creation of insights and solutions, supports talented researchers to make best use of the UKCRIC facilities, and informs the reshaping of our infrastructure, urban and connected systems and governance so that they are delivered successfully and work for both people and planet. |

| Description | ResearchFish's annual submission deadline provides us with an opportunity to look back at some of UKCRIC's highlights from the last year. In the latest year for which figures are available (our 2022/23 year), UKCRIC leveraged over £32M in research funding, of which £1.9M was from commercial sources. This supported 204 research projects at UKCRIC facilities, 49 of which had international partners. 58 non-academic entities used UKCRIC's facilities and UKCRIC published 254 publications, including academic papers, books and reports. Through UKCRIC Limited, a UKCRIC spin out company, members have opportunities to work on mid to high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) projects. UKCRIC Limited has been growing steadily since its creation in 2022, winning projects with engineering, construction and consultancy businesses. The company has recently recruited a Project Manager and Business Development Director. 2023 has seen the number of UKCRIC Limited projects increase exponentially and the forecast for 2024 is excellent, including repeat business. UKCRIC Limited is now recognised as a Research & Technology Organisation (RTO). UKCRIC's framework agreement with HS2 is soon to enter its fourth year. Despite the difficulties faced by HS2 this year, the project continues to invest in research-led innovation and continues to value its relationship with UKCRIC. We have selected nine pieces of work from the last calendar year we think are worthy of revisiting. If you wish to find out more about UKCRIC's work, each year we publish our Annual Review. All our Annual Reviews are available online at www.ukcric.com/about-ukcric/annual-review. (1) In February 2023 the Decarbonisation and Technology Minister Mr Jesse Norman chose UKCRIC's PEARL facility to convene a roundtable discussion with stakeholders in transport, law enforcement and disability advocacy on issues surrounding e-scooters. The roundtable addressed the legal status of e-scooters and how they fit within existing road traffic laws and safety concerns, particularly for blind and partially sighted people. https://www.ukcric.com/news/decarbonisation-minister-visits-ucl-pearl-transport-laboratory (2) In March 2023 UKCRIC commissioned an article with PoliticsHome providing a commentary and critique of Chris Skidmore's Independent Review of Net Zero in the context of infrastructure and urban systems, and what it means for the sector and for infrastructure practitioners (retweeted by Chris Skidmore). UKCRIC's subscription with PoliticsHome enables us to influence Westminster, including both Houses and the Civil Service. https://www.politicshome.com/members/article/mission-zero-skidmore-review-kickstart-nations-journey-net-zero (3) In April 2023 the Digital Task Force for Planning and UKCRIC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work together to research, develop and apply cutting edge digital research and technology for mainstream spatial planning practice and education, leading to transformative changes for public benefit. Since the agreement was signed we have collaborated on two placements via C-DICE's placement and secondment funding scheme for evaluating and assessing various decarbonisation toolkits that might enable the preparation of better local plans. https://www.ukcric.com/news/new-collaboration-to-accelerate-digital-integration-into-infrastructure-and-urban-systems-research (4) In August 2023 the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Scientific Computing Department Centre of Excellence for Resilient Infrastructure Analysis announced that £1.4 million has been awarded across eight UK-based projects to boost UK infrastructure resilience. Using computational modelling on UKCRIC's Data & Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI), these eight projects strive to strengthen the UK's resilience against severe weather events and other complex challenges. https://www.ukcric.com/news/14-million-awarded-to-boost-uk-infrastructure-resilience-against-climate-change (5) In November 2023, in the wake of the Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) crisis, PoliticsHome sat down with a panel of academic experts from UKCRIC to explore the challenge of maintaining the nation's buildings and infrastructure and to find out what lessons we can learn. https://www.politicshome.com/members/article/raac-basics-putting-maintenance-heart-infrastructure (6) A study led by researchers at Cranfield University and the University of Leeds, and funded by UKCRIC, investigated the extent to which residents of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc support alternative green infrastructure funding mechanisms and where they believe these sources should come from. https://www.ukcric.com/outputs/project-spotlight-exploring-public-perceptions-and-support-for-green-infrastructure-funding-mechanisms (7) Researchers in UCL's Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy have published a report from their UKCRIC funded project - Establishing a Competencies Framework for Infrastructure Policy Professionals. The resulting Framework provides the potential to directly inform practice, and improve higher education and workplace training. https://www.ukcric.com/outputs/project-spotlight-establishing-a-competencies-framework-for-infrastructure-policy-professionals (8) A pilot study led by researchers at Heriot-Watt University and funded by UKCRIC has shown that carbon reduction and financial cost savings can be achieved by combining mobility, such as a demand response bus service, with parcel delivery. https://www.ukcric.com/outputs/project-spotlight-is-demand-responsive-transport-integrated-with-parcel-delivery-a-viable-future (9) UKCRIC launched a special series of insight articles on underground infrastructure following a workshop in September 2023 on underground infrastructure that UKCRIC was commissioned to co-deliver by UKRI and the US National Science Foundation (NSF). https://www.ukcric.com/outputs/insight-dealing-with-the-complexity-of-the-underworld-part-1 |

| Impact | Prof William Powrie was selected with Prof Andrew McNaughton (Southampton) and Prof Lord Robert Mair (Cambridge) to advise the Chairman of HS2 on the engineering design of HS2 infrastructure. Their work was cited in Recommendation 3 of the HS2 Chairman's Stocktake (August 2019) (HMG Official Sensitive - redacted version available at the given URL). In the context of challenging costs and deriving further efficiencies within the proposed scope of the railway, the Chairman says "I will continue to use Professor Andrew McNaughton, Lord Mair and Professor William Powrie to work with the HS2 Ltd Chief Engineer to examine the engineering assumptions behind existing designs". The Chairman's Stocktake was heavily cited and its cost estimates relied on in the Oakervee Review (December 2019), including a specific reference to risk arising from lack of information on ground conditions in Phase 2b. The Oakervee Review in turn underpinned the Prime Minister's announcement on 11 Feb 2020, so a direct line can be drawn from our research to the decision to proceed with HS2. |

| Impact | Major procurements for Highways England (now National Highways) are required to go through a three stage Approval Process (Line of Defence 1, 2 and 3). As chair of LoD3 for major procurements, I set up a panel, read procurment documents, chair a review meeting with HS2 commercial and procurement teams and write a comprehensive report. 9 reports have been written to date. The impacts have been: reducing the likelihood of costly challenges to the procurement process from failures in implementation; economic benefits of seeing best procurement practice is followed, market engagement is strong, and conditions of engagement are appropriate. |

| Impact | The avoidance of unnecessary expenditure is the major impact, with immediate effect. PRofessional archtiects and others had claimed that a fixed link could be constructed for £15bn. This was shown to be a gross underestimate. The full cost, technical complexity and time to construct were estimated in the study and assessed to be unlikely to deliver benefits commensurate with the costs, in both financial and carbon terms. |

| Geographic Reach | Multiple continents/international |
| Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
| Impact | The Principles for Resilient Infrastructure are already having an impact. Most notably, they were recently cited in the Sendai Framework Midterm Review. As an action Member States must take: The resilience of infrastructure systems has been recognized as a key area of action to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework. As such, Member States and stakeholders Principles for Resilient Infrastructure at the heart of developing infrastructure systems, both in upgrading existing systems and integrating risk assessments and data into future projects.. (source: p104: Sendai Framework Midterm Review) and were further discussed in the context of the Sendai Framework at the UN High-Level Meeting on the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Additionally: • The principles and net resilience gain will be the focus of an International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) led, UNDRR Risk Reduction Hub workshop, on Accelerating implementation of DRR and resilience in infrastructure • Following the report, the term Systemic Resilience has been added to the CDRI (Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure) Disaster Resilient Infrastructure Lexicon (DRI Lexicon). (A resource focused on developing Shared Understanding of Terms that Matter for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.) • The Net Resilience Gain (NRG) concept was adopted by UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction Mami Mizutori in November 21 (see UNDRR story "Net Resilience Gain" concept proposed) • An entry into the DRI Lexicon for the Net Resilience Gain (NRG) concept developed as part of the Resilient Infrastructure Principles project is expected to follow shortly. The principles were also the focus of an ICSI event held at the COP28 Resilience Hub |

| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | The Liveable Cities research team provided a suite of methodologies for enabling the better design and implementation of city interventions. The IAA award was used to trial these with different organisations; Birmingham City Council, Bristol City Council and Costain most intensively. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Costain (a major civil engineering contractor) sent several delegates to a workshop to receive presentations on the methods, debate them in detail and work out how they might be applied to their core business. Individuals from Costain then contacted specific Research Fellows to advance their application of the thinking in Costain projects (e.g. street lighting in Sussex). Birmingham City Council provided staff time and case study sites. |
| Impact | The primary outcome was always to educate and train professional staff in a different way of thinking and approaching their work. This was achieved, whether it was designing street lighting in Sussex, maintaining street trees in Bristol, designing green interventions in Birmingham or delivering a low-carbon energy zone in Coventry. The methodologies deliver greater social and environmental value. As new programmes of research are being proposed, we now have ready-made and willing collaborators to co-create proposals. This collaboration was multi-disciplinary, involving Construction, Transport, Environment, Infrastructure and Urban Systems, Health & Wellbeing, and Governance. |

| Results and Impact | Foreword by Dr Tom Dolan UKCRIC's purpose, vision and mission statement are underpinned by a set of four deeply interdependent Scientific Missions. These Scientific Missions, reflect the collective belief of the UKCRIC team that Infrastructure and urban systems, and all governance structures associated with them, can and must play a pivotal role in addressing the climate emergency. Specifically, by enabling GHG emission reductions; enhancing systemic, societal and economic resilience to the disruptive impacts of global warming of at least 1.5 C; tackling other sustainability challenges; and driving realisation of societally beneficial outcomes that are equitable, inclusive and socially just. As a consequence, there is strong alignment between UKCRIC's research capabilities, UKCRIC's research outputs, the collaborations with which UKCRIC is involved and COP26 priorities. This COP26 themed special edition of the UKCRIC Newsletter, shares details of UKCRIC Climate Emergency linked research activities launched, presented or published at, during, or in the build-up to COP26. These include: research content from Prof Jim Hall, Dr Jennifer Schooling, Dr Tom Dolan, Prof Chris Rogers and PhD student Elisabeth Shrimpton, and UKCRIC NGIF; a personal reflection on COP 26 and the Glasgow Climate Pact (Dr Tom Dolan); updates from a number of UKCRIC collaborations; news and insights from UKCRIC Facilities NBIF, Birmingham Urban Observatory and PEARL; and a roundup of links to COP26 news from UKCRIC partner Universities. This newsletter shares a snapshot of some of the many ways in which UKCRIC research is relevant to the Climate Emergency and COP26 objectives. If we have missed your research, please do let us know [hello@ukcric.com] and we will include details in our next newsletter. Additionally, if you have been inspired to contribute an Insight article for the UKCRIC website, would like further details on any newsletter stories, or to explore opportunities for future collaboration please contact us [hello@ukcric.com]. |

The ~200 delegates are mostly from industry including many SMEs, and also a strong contingent from Network Rail who fund and undertake a significant proportion of innovation in infrastructure. The focus was on how industry and universities can work together to accelerate innovation, and included case studies on taking new ideas from low TRL right through to the implementation in the live railway. The conference is part of a coherent plan of activities over two or three years to strengthen relationships between industry and academia so it is difficult to attribute new relationships to a single event but the University is seeing an increase in approaches from SMEs in particular, which has always been a difficult constituency for us. |

| Results and Impact | An Article challenging asset managers to think differently about their Investments in Net Zero , renewal, refurbishment, maintenance, replacement of system, components and so on, we are arguing that the financial benefit of failure prevention through early climate change effect mitigation is greater than the cost that would be incurred EITHER by later action or by the cost of failure. What we are proposing is that systemic understanding of infrastructure as aset of interconnected, interdependent systems needs to be coupled to effective long-term governance which priorities effective adaptation and resilience over shorter term financial efficiency |

| Results and Impact | This workshop was a University of Birmingham Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) workshop. The workshop built on the IAS-funded Regeneration Economies: Transforming People, Place, and Production theme that was co-led by Prof. J. Bryson with Prof. L. Andres. Lauren is now Professor of Planning and Urban Transformations, The Bartlett School of Planning, UCL. The workshop aimed to: • Initiate an interdisciplinary dialogue on new forms of urbanism that will identify research challenges and opportunities. This includes a focus on pathways towards healthy urbanism and enhanced well-being. • Explore different scales involved in the configuration of new forms of urbanism including new forms of temporary urbanism, new approaches to living in cities including co-living and the longer-term impacts of artificial intelligence and types of digital nomadism. • Explore the ways in which the on-going reconfiguration of urban value chains is reshaping cities and the role they play in globalisation. An academic paper and edited book are being drafted as a result of the workshop. |

I demonstrate that To catalyse society-wide action, we must change the conversation regarding mitigation and resilience. In the context of climate change, neither can be dismissed as an unaffordable luxury. Investment in both is now a pre-requisite for future economic success and sustaining our current quality of life. Inaction is now the unaffordable luxury. |

Arguing that Resilience is not an all or nothing state. All cities lie somewhere on a continuum between low resilience and high resilience. High resilience cities have a set of intrinsic abilities at all stages of the resilience cycle. These characteristics are less developed in cities with lower resilience. To become more resilient, a city must adopt a systemic approach to city-wide management of its enabling infrastructure and a dynamic focus on all stages of the resilience cycle. |

| Results and Impact | After 27 years of COP, it appears global society is not on track to achieve the 1.5° C target agreed at COP21 in the 2015 Paris Agreement. In this article I argue how we interpret and respond to this apparent slow progress is critical. I lay out reasons why we could Keep Calm and Carry and reasons why we should Panic (then act systemically) I opt for the later option, for the simple reason that The Climate Emergency is a wicked problem of problems. It must be characterised, addressed, governed, regulated and managed as such. I argue that COP is not sufficiently focused on the systemic realities of the challenge(s) it seeks to address. Therefore, if it is to orchestrate a successful global response to the climate emergency, COP must first undergo a systemic revamp. I make the case that a successful Climate Emergency strategy must focus on the transformation of the system(s) paradigm, mindsets, purpose, rules, processes and structures from which the Climate Emergency has emerged, and outline four key pillars of such a strategy: i. Establish a Net Zero Mindset: ii. Transform (realign) All System Goals to be consistent with i. iii. Transform (realign) All System Rules to be consistent with i and ii iv. Transform System Structures and Processes to align with i, ii, iii My key point being that Infrastructure systems are systemically significant leverage points the transformation of which is needed to support the speed, scale, scope of action required for a successful response to the Climate Emergency response. However for this to happen i, ii, iii must be in place. This article is inspired in part by my UKCRIC C-DICE Fellowship research focused on Climate Emergency Success Factors, and also by a recent workshop reflecting on COP27 that I helped organise and facilitate for the inaugural Early Career Researchers Net Zero Conference (#ECRNZCONF) |

| Results and Impact | John Beckford and Keith Elford (with support from Tom Dolan) delivered two UKCRIC Thought Leadership & Synthesis training workshops on behalf of the UKCRIC Coordination Node. Workshop Part I was held on 19th September 2018 Part I: An opportunity for Principal Investigators (PIs) - and/or their deputies - to come together in an alignment conversation, reflect on progress to date, determine how that aligns to the science and business cases for UKCRIC and identify any gaps. This is an important opportunity to reflect on the systems paradigm and the systemic nature of the UKCRIC enterprise and what it means for all. Workshop Part II was held on 17th October 2018. Part 2: An opportunity to reflect on the outcome of the first event, to consider in outline the mechanisms for synthesis of outputs and, importantly, to capture what 'systemic' means to each of us. Note: we will celebrate divergence in those interpretations! We will consider what synthesising activities need to ensue and the mechanisms by which they can be funded and delivered. The workshop collaborative examined The Overall CN Proposition from 4 perspectives: o Understanding Societal Needs and Enabling Societal Outcomes (Outline & Debate) o Developing Overarching Research Strategy (Outline & Debate) o Synthesising Research Outputs and Enabling Learning (Outline & Debate) o UKCRIC Knowledge Nexus (Outline & Debate) |
