External Champion to RCUK Global Uncertainties Programme

Description	The Champion's role has been designed to help researchers working within the Global Uncertainties (now PaCCS) Programme deliver non-academic impact, through engagement with stakeholders in Government, Industry and the Third Sector. We have achieved this through supporting knowledge exchange. At the simplest level, this has involved linking people together: I made 152 introductions over 22 months (April 2014 - December 2015), and expect the aggregate effect of these over the next decade will be significant; for instance, I introduced the Oxford-based Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium to the gaming company Improbable, with the latter contributing £750,000 to a £5m project awarded by EPSRC to develop new simulation tools; I also introduced the Centre for Secure IT (Queen's Belfast) to UKTI and this - we are told - could lead to an investment in the Northern Ireland Science Park of c £150m. Through a placement into the Home Office's Office of Security and Counter-Terrorism, we have - they tell us - transformed their understanding of what academic research can do to help them; a placement into the National Crime Agency has uncovered requirements for social and behavioural scientific research; and the Evidence Review that we commissioned into Communications and Media Strategies for Countering Violent Extremism; has enlightened policy-makers at home and abroad struggling to respond to the propaganda campaigns of so-called Islamic State; in November 2017, we heard that a consultant advising Oxfam on countering violence was interested in using the definition of violent extremism "which seems to offer something different/more holistic to definitions I'm coming across elsewhere within the development sector." We developed and implemented a successful Communications Strategy for PaCCS, with a flourishing website - paccsresearch.org.uk (receiving almost 8,000 visits from over 6,000 users in the last quarter of 2016, of which 73% were new visitors) and Twitter feed (@paccsresearch) with over 1,000 followers in that year. This infrastructure continued through to 2022, having been passed across - with the Communications Officer - to Prof David Galbreath at Bath University, and then returned to my care in 2019, supported by a new Communications Officer (Kate McNeil). In preparing to close this down with the demise of PaCCS in 2022, we put arrangements in place to preserve and sustain key documents generated over the years - for instance, the National Policing College has asked to download many of the documents in the "Resources" section of our website, and the REPHRAIN programme at the University of Bristol agreed to maintain the PaCCS website. The work of PaCCS communications throughout the partnership's life course was, primarily, to heighten awareness of the partnership and its portfolio of research; to strengthen capacity among partnership researchers to achieve impact; and to increase a sense of community amongst those working on conflict, crime, and security issues in the UK academic community. In achieving this mission, the PaCCS website became a one-stop shop for those seeking to learn about ongoing research in these areas. In 2020, for example, there were 18,802 unique visitors to the PaCCS website, and over 33,902 pageviews. In that year, 82 news stories and 46 new blog posts were published on the website. Together, these stories and blogs sought to extend the visibility of the work of members of our research network beyond disciplinary silos, and to communicate the findings of research in ways which would be accessible to general audiences - and to interested policymakers. The blog posts themselves largely compromised of interviews conducted by the PaCCS Communications Officer with members of the larger PaCCS research community - including those whose past work had been funded by the research councils and connected with the Global Uncertainties Project. This was an opportunity for researchers to tell their 'research story' - sharing key findings from specific research projects with a broader audience, while creating space for broader reflections on their work and updates on how research council funded projects had shaped their subsequent careers or had resulted in impact well after the life of the primary project had ended. Several interviewees reported that the interview process gave them time and space to reflect on the bigger picture questions within their careers, and to better understand how various components of their work were related to each other. Some interviewees were contacted despite having moved abroad following their previous PaCCS/GU-affiliated work, offering insights into how the legacy of these projects had created a network of global scholars with connections to the UK. A selection of the strongest and most impactful of these blog posts were later edited and condensed into a book - "Global Uncertainties: Collected Conversations from the Partnership for Conflict, Crime & Security Research", which was made available open access online; while print copies were also donated to several major university libraries including the Bodleian at Oxford; King's College London; and the University of Cambridge Library. This work - alongside our efforts (described above) to distribute PaCCS online resources to several other institutions - will ensure that the legacy of the PaCCS project remains available to the public in a distilled form in the years to come. This legacy offers a snapshot of a period in history, encapsulating the questions pertaining to traditional and non-traditional threats to security which concerned researchers in the first fifth of the 21st century. Other resources available on the PaCCS website included policy-briefings; an updated research map highlighting the work of relevant institutions in the UK with the aim of helping industry organizations and policymakers easily find relevant expertise; and a collection of multimedia resources and videos (many of which are still available on YouTube) which sought to create space for the public to hear directly from conflict, crime, and security researchers. These types of initiatives, alongside our social media presence, sought to diversify the ways in which the public, policymakers, practitioners, and prospective future scholars might engage with outputs from the PaCCS community. Within this approach, the PaCCS Twitter formed a particular keystone, reaching an international audience of followers largely comprised of academics, academic-affiliated institutions, and third sector organizations. In 2020, as an example, we had 288,400 "impressions" on Twitter. Our Academic Marketplace has allowed some 40 researchers keen to commercialise their IP to set out their stall, attracting interest from around the world via our website; one member of the Marketplace (Cytora, spun out of Cambridge University) raised £2.5m at the end of 2016; and collaboration with a number of Government Departments (including Home Office and Department for Transport) has seen a number of research-teams gain traction in their efforts to turn science into technological products and services. We can claim to have helped the emergence of a number of new companies from Global Uncertainties Research: CyberOwl, SeeQuestor (which has raised over £5m from investors and won the Innovation Award at HMG's 2017 Security and Policing event) and XPCI Technology (which was awarded almost £100,000 from the Department for Transport, in its Future of Aviation Security Solutions call); and our collaboration with Crossword Cybersecurity led to the creation of the CLUE database, helping a global audience understand the contribution that cybersecurity research in the UK is making to the development of new solutions. Policy Workshops, backed up by the production of carefully-crafted Policy Briefings, have also proved to deliver valuable impact (especially in terms of illuminating and influencing the judgments of policy- and decision-makers). For instance, the Workshop held in November 2015 led to a Policy Briefing Note entitled "Innovation Challenges in Cybersecurity"; this was launched in London (the Digital Catapult), Brussels (at the invitation of the EC's Special Adviser on Innovation) and Boston, with evidence that it has shaped policy-making (for instance through DCMS's launch - at the end of 2016 - of a programme to support academic start-ups in cyber-security; and their call, made in December 2017, for a second such programme in 2018 and a third in 2019). The workshop was able to shape DCMS thinking about the use of funds to stimulate the formation of early-stage companies, and it led to a national initiative based on the ICURe model developed by the SETsquared Partnership. DCMS subsequently announced a new cyber security programme for Academia designed to progress cutting edge research ideas and support these towards commercial success. The new Cyber Security ICURe Innovation-to-Commercialisation programme, piloted by the SETsquared Partnership and Innovate UK, and funded by DCMS, offered university researchers with commercially-promising cyber security ideas up to £35k to 'get out of the lab' ideas to the marketplace. This is now known as "CyberASAP" (Cyber Academic Startup Accelerator programme) and in February 2020 the call to support Year 4 was announced, with £800,000 available in grants. By then (Feb 2020), 10 fully-formed companies had been created as a result of the programme, raising over £3m from investors, with one company achieving an exit through a takeover by Google. By November 2021, UKRI was reporting that the CyberASAP programme had led to the formation of 21 companies and over £16m in further funding raised by its graduates. This was described in detail in a "CyberASAP Insights and Impact Report" . We ran three workshops for the Ministry of Defence linked to the Science and Security programme within PaCCS, and this led to five Policy Briefings on topics as wide-ranging as UAVs, innovation in defence and security, responsible science, open source data and the use of social media in the Armed Services. Meanwhile there were unusual impacts arising from our Workshop and Briefing on religion and contemporary security challenges, ranging from the uplifting experience of working with the Brilliant Club to engage Sixth Formers from deprived schools in the issues, through to being invited to brief the former head of UKIP on the importance of religious literacy in political life. Our Policy Briefings have continued to be used in different contexts, for instance informing meetings in 2018 with Google UK's Public Policy Manager, UKRIs Head of Policy, and the Cabinet Office's Head of Incident Management. In January 2018, I participated in a three-day conference at Ditchley Park on the Future of Policing in the Digital Age, working with senior police and policy-makers from the UK, USA on this important topic; the products of a number of my Policy Workshops were shared with participants, including those on delivering innovation. Our 2016 Policy Briefing "The Governance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Defence and Security" called for HMG to develop a communications strategy to help people understand the dangers, opportunities and complexities of drones and launch a consultation process to identify potential regulatory blind spots for smaller UAVs and resolve these. In 2017, the Department for Trade launched such a consultation with related communications strategy. The results were announced in July 2017, including next steps to be taken by Government to: a) implement a registration scheme and mandatory competency tests for all users of drones weighing 250 grams and above; b) bring forward work to create an authoritative source of UK airspace data, which will facilitate the implementation of geo-fencing and build greater awareness of airspace restrictions amongst drone users; and c) explore further measures such as increasing penalties, creating new offences and reviewing the powers available to law enforcement agencies to enforce relevant law. This aligns well with our recommendations. On 27 November 2017, a written statement in parliament reported in plans for legislation being passed in Spring 2018. I have received, in the course of the last few years, a number of testimonials from academic and non-academic stakeholders. The latest (received on 13 March 2017 from Dstl) nicely captures the sentiment of many: "The Science & Security programme within the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) was set up with the intent of creating enduring relationships between the social sciences research base and the Defence and Security communities pan-government. As an integrator of research output, and creator of routes to exploitation, Tristram has made highly valued contributions to the success of the programme. He has designed and delivered a series of well-attended events, bringing together academics, policy makers, and representatives of the third and industrial sectors to access research outputs and explore their impact. These exposed participants to a rich seam of knowledge, as well as to perspectives other than their own, informing and challenging thinking. His subsequent leadership of the creation of a number of briefs, distilling the themes emerging from these events into insights for policy makers, are helping ensure that policy development is cognisant of the research front line in areas as diverse as social media, autonomy and the ethics of emerging science and technology. Tristram has also very effectively, and with significant energy, facilitated the building of new relationships between academia and a diverse set of stakeholders, enabling linkages which would otherwise not have been made."

Title	Map of Research Teams working on Security
Description	In 2014, my team responded to a request from the Home Office to produce a map of research teams working on security issues. We conducted a survey of Impact Acceleration Account Directors (and others), and identified 54 teams (located in 24 universities) working on Terrorism, 38 on Transnational Organised Crime, 83 on Threats to Critical Infrastructure, 63 on Conflict, 64 on Cyber-Security, and 45 on CBRNE proliferation. In Q1 2015, we expanded our map of centres associated with security-related research through an analysis of the old portfolio of accredited Global Uncertainties projects. This more than doubled the number of universities in the database (from 24 to 57): we identified 67 teams working on terrorism, 55 working on TNOC, 95 on Threats to Critical Infrastructure, 99 on Conflict; 75 on Cyber, and 59 on CBRN proliferation. The universities are: Aberystwyth, Anglia Ruskin, Aston, Bath, Birkbeck, Birmingham, Birmingham City, Bournemouth, Bradford, Bristol, Brunel, Cambridge, Cardiff, City, Cranfield, Derby, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Hull, Imperial, John Hopkins, KCL, Kent, Lancaster, Liverpool, Loughborough, LSE, Manchester, Middlesex, Newcastle, Nottingham, Nottingham Trent, Open University, Oxford, Plymouth, Queen's Belfast, Reading, Royal Holloway, Sheffield, SOAS, Southampton, South Wales, St Andrews, Surrey, Sussex, Swansea, UAL, UCL, UEA, UWS, Warwick, Westminster, Wolverhampton, York. We subsequently published this as a Prezi map on the PaCCS website, to facilitate those seeking access to our research-base.

Impact	We are not sure what impacts have derived from this, other than the map becoming a useful point-of-reference. It was originally requested by the Home Office, and in 2017 we learned that it was being consulted by the Joint Security and Resilience Centre. We have analysed visits to the site: in the 20 months between its creation on 15 June 2015 and 15 February 2017) our PaCCS' Research Map page has received a total of 385 visits and 301 unique pageviews. Most users spent an average time of 02:21 minutes on the page. The majority of visits were from the UK (90.65%), followed by the US (2,60%), Australia, Canada and Spain (0.78% each). The greatest proportion of visits were recorded during the first month (with 42 Page-Views on 15/06/15 and 68 on 22/06/2015). There were 12 views on 10/11/16(the day we presented PaCCS at a gathering of Parliamentary researchers.

Title	Map of Resources for SMEs
Description	Following discussion among research teams associated with PaCCS's Academic Marketplace, and informed by The Dowling Review of Business-University Reearch Collaborations (July 2015), we built and launched an interactive map of resources available to support the commercialisation of research. The map, appearing on the PaCCS website, highlights various initiatives designed to incentivise spin-outs and make it easier for SMEs to flourish both in the UK and in international markets. It focuses on initiatives that will be of most use to researchers working in the areas of conflict, crime and security, and is divided into 5 categories: Sources of Advice; Public Procurement; Funding; IP; and Networks.
Type Of Material	Database/Collection of data
Provided To Others?	No
Impact	Resources for SMEs - Stats (24 August 2015 - 15 February 2017) by Natalia In the eighteen months since its creation (on 24 August 2015), this page on PaCCS's website has received a total of 58 visits and 54 unique page-views. Most users spent an average time of 02:48 minutes on the page. The majority of page-views were from the UK (91.38%), followed by the US (6.90%) and Greece (1.72%). During this 18-month period, the page was evenly visited with daily pageviews consistently ranging from 0 to 4 (an average of 0.10 visits per day). This is a relatively low hit-rate (a similar map showing centres of research excellence of relevance to PaCCS has received almost 400 hits in a similar amount of time). This appears to be indicative of a certain disinterest among many academics in commercialising their Intellectual Property.

PI Contribution	In 2014 and 2015 we arranged three PaCCS Policy Workshops for the charity Cooperation Ireland (two at Durham University's Global Security Institute, one in Belfast), developing ideas for an academic contribution to efforts to reduce risks of radicalisation in marginalised Loyalist and Republican communities. Key outputs were the formation of an academic advisory group to help the charity develop its plans, and the skeleton-plan for a research proposal that encompasses the need for both academic excellence and impact.
Collaborator Contribution	Cooperation Ireland provided requirements from a non-academic stakeholder for researchers to consider. Cooperation Ireland also hosted a visit from researchers to its headquarters in Belfast. Durham GlobalSecurity Institute provided the venue for two meetings, and catering.
Impact	The workshop developed the idea of a nested programme of research aimed at delivering both impact (with short- and medium-term benefit accruing to Cooperation Ireland - and the Loyalist and Republican communities more broadly - through advice on implementation of the project and through an evaluation of its effectiveness) and research excellence (through linking these activities to theoretical reflections on the application on leadership development in relation to disengagement and engagement literature). Cooperation Ireland also invited the academics concerned to act as an informal advisory group. In 2016, the Director of Cooperation Ireland wrote: ""A huge thank you for your efforts in pulling such an eminent field together - it's exactly what I have been trying to do for a number of years. We have submitted an application with Queens University so it may yet prove successful. However, had it not been for your persistence in pulling together the range of universities and experts we would not have been in a position to refine the bid with Queens. If you recall when we spoke at the beginning I had the basis of an idea your knowledge and network in the field was extremely important in bringing the idea to an application stage. Without that support and assistance we would not have been able to crystallise the idea to application stage."

PI Contribution	We provided Crossword Cybersecurity with open source data relating to cybersecurity research within the Global Uncertainties portfolio. Crossword; we arranged for Dr Jat Singh of Cambridge University's Computer Labs to undertake some quality control of the work done by Crossword. Tom Ilube, Chief Executive of Crossword has written: ""PaCCS partnered with Crossword Cybersecurity plc to close the gap between university cyber security research and industry by co-launching CLUE, an open database of all major cyber security research projects conducted in UK universities over the past five years. The concept was inspired by Tristram Riley-Smith's desire to ensure that industry has a window into the cyber research world. The database was seeded with data provided by PaCCS to Crossword. Today CLUE covers over 500 cyber security research projects and has in the region of 400 users. As a direct result of Tristram's initiative partner with Crossword to establish CLUE, UK cyber research is being showcased widely across industry, increasing the chances of commercialisation."
Collaborator Contribution	Crossword Cybersecurity tasked three staff members to analyse and present this in a publicly-available database.
Impact	The CLUE database is available to the world for those interested in seeking impact from cybersecurity research in UK universities.

Organisation	Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL)
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	I was invited to help the PaCCS programme of research entitled Science and Security (partly funded by the MoD) to deliver greater impact. I reviewed the nine projects within the programme and organised three Policy Workshops (one in the British Academy; two in the Royal Society) that brought the researchers together with policy-makers, practitioners, scientists and technicians from Government, Industry and the Third Sector. I subsequently took the findings of those three workshops and produced (in collaboration with researchers) five PaCCs Policy Briefings (see outputs, below).
Collaborator Contribution	In addition to the financial contribution to support the running of these workshops and publication of these briefings, the MoD helped to identify and invite people to represent their department at the workshops.
Impact	Five PaCCS Policy Briefings were produced, deriving from the Policy Workshops that I organised: Responsible Research and Development: The Ethics of Dangerous Science; Transforming Research into Technology: Innovation for Defence and Security; Open Source Data: Ethical & Regulatory Considerations; Social Media and the Armed Forces; The Governance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Defence and Security. The Briefings were produced in hard and soft copy, and distributed to relevant stakeholders, with follow-up action to drive home impact. In March 2017, Lou Martingale of Dstl wrote the following testimonial: The Science & Security programme within the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) was set up with the intent of creating enduring relationships between the social sciences research base and the Defence and Security communities pan-government. As an integrator of research output, and creator of routes to exploitation, Tristram has made highly valued contributions to the success of the programme. He has designed and delivered a series of well-attended events, bringing together academics, policy makers, and representatives of the third and industrial sectors to access research outputs and explore their impact. These exposed participants to a rich seam of knowledge, as well as to perspectives other than their own, informing and challenging thinking. His subsequent leadership of the creation of a number of briefs, distilling the themes emerging from these events into insights for policy makers, are helping ensure that policy development is cognisant of the research front line in areas as diverse as social media, autonomy and the ethics of emerging science and technology. Tristram has also very effectively, and with significant energy, facilitated the building of new relationships between academia and a diverse set of stakeholders, enabling linkages which would otherwise not have been made.

Description	Collaboration with The Brilliant Club to arrange workshop on Religion and Security for Sixth-Formers
Organisation	Brilliant Club
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Charity/Non Profit
PI Contribution	The wellspring for this event was the PaCCS workshop on "Religion and Contemporary Security Challenges", held in September 2015, and the Policy Briefing that followed. An introduction to The Brilliant Club provided access to pupils who could derive the greatest benefit from this initiative: the Brilliant Club is an award winning charity that exists to widen access to universities for pupils from under-represented groups. They recruit, train and place doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in non-selective state schools across the country. Five schools were involved: Bushey Academy (Bushey), Fortismere School (Muswell Hill), Greenshaw High School (Sutton), King Solomon Academy (Marylebone), and St James Catholic High School (Barnet). Each sent about a dozen 6th Formers to our workshop in Camden Town, with the venue generously provided by the Open University. The day was structured around two big questions - "How does religion become entangled with conflict and violence?" and "Is there anything we can do about it?". Through a series of parallel round-table discussions and plenary feedback sessions, we explored a number of sub-themes: identity and difference; trust & mistrust; insecurity and alienation; closed minds and stereotypes.
Collaborator Contribution	The Brilliant Club helped recruit schools to participate in the event. The Open University provided the venue.
Impact	c Fifty Sixth-Formers from disadvantaged schools (least likely to get students to university) had the opportunity to expand thinking and enrich university applications. They were all asked to include one or two paragraphs in their Personal Statement for university entry.

Organisation	National Crime Agency
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	We arranged to place a doctoral student into the National Crime Agency. Following a national recruitment campaign, (now Dr) Anna Sergi from Essex University was selected, and was security-cleared by the NCA. Her task reflected growing interest in improved engagement between Law Enforcement Agencies and academics, in order to improve capabilities and decision-making in the face of threats from Transnational and Organised Crime; the FCO and Home Office share an interest in these issues and were interviewed, and the Director of Europol facilitated a visit to his headquarters in The Hague. Anna Sergi spent three months conducting interviews and writing up.
Collaborator Contribution	The NCA security-cleared Ms Sergi, provided desk-space and a supervisor to support her work, organising interviews and providing feedback.
Impact	1. Report to NCA, subsequently published on the PaCCS website to coincide with the PaCCS "Transnational Organised Crime" Research Call. 2. The report was discussed at the initial steering group meeting for a Strategic Hub on Organised Crime being hosted at RUSI where key representatives of public sector (including Home Office, National Police Chief's Council and the College of Policing) met with prominent representatives of research bodies and academic institutions. 3. In January 2016, Steve Welsh, Head of Behavioural Science, Organised Crime Command at the National Crime Agency reported: "We have tendered Anna Sergi's report to numerous academic institutions and research consortia; consistently resulting in a clear and immediate understanding of NCA's research requirements and the practical context which they arise. Anna's work (aided by her security vetted status) provided not just the requirements in language that academic and research could immediately digest but also just as importantly the strategic and operational context in which the requirements arose. This clarity of requirement, context and prioritisation offers the best prospect of research yielding practical impact of mutually benefit to the customer and researcher. Without such documented requirements various less effective means of securing research or deriving benefit from research in progress inevitably result."

Description	PaCCS Placement with BBC Media Action re Communication/Media Strategies to Counter Violent Extremism
Organisation	British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
Department	BBC Media Action
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	Following a competitive selection process, we Dr selected Kate Ferguson (University of East Anglia, UEA) to undertake a PaCCS placement working with BBC Media Action, to look at the role of strategic communication and media development in reducing conflict and countering violent extremism. Her work focused on the use of propaganda by a variety of state and non-state actors, and the evidence base behind current counter-propaganda strategies and efforts to combat violent extremism. in the course of a 3 month placement, Dr Ferguson reviewed the evidence of the effectiveness (or otherwise) of strategic communication and the media in countering violent extremism and information warfare.The key output of the placement was a report (published on the PaCCS website and launched in the Houses of Parliament at the All Party Parliamentary Group for Global Uncertainties on 1 March 2016). It was used by BBC Media Action and the Partnership to inform policy thinking and, if appropriate, future research calls in this area. The Government Office of Science has already expressed interest in the findings.
Collaborator Contribution	BBC Media Action provided desk-space in their London headquarters, and access to expert knowledge to support the literature review.
Impact	1. Production of a report (published on the PaCCS website): Countering Violent Extremism Through Media and Communication Strategies: A Review of the Evidence. 2. Talk to All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global Uncertainties in Houses of Parliament on 1 March 2016. 3. Talks in Brussels and Stockholm (linked to European Parliament and UNDP respectively) in March/April 2016. 4. The Government's Chief Scientific Advisor was complimentary about the quality of the work at a meeting of senior Government Officials. There was a meeting on 11 March 2016 with the Government Office of Science: the meeting with Dr Ferguson lasted c three hours with a detailed review of the paper by individuals conducting a significant internal review of HMG strategic communications; it emerged that they weren't aware of much of the literature covered in our evidence review (having rooted much of their efforts to date on quantitative methods): the introduction of insights from Social Sciences and Humanities would appear to represent an early impact. 5. On 23 March, Dr Ferguson was invited to present her findings to a meeting in the FCO, with representatives of DfID, FCO, RICU, and the British Council present. 6. International interest was expressed in this work by organisations as varied as the US Department of Defense; USAID; the National Endowment for Democracy (Washington DC); the Norwegian Development Agency; the Swiss Agency for Development; the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre; and NGOs Search for Common Ground and Saferworld. 7. In June 2016, Dr Ferguson travelled to Washington DC, giving a lunchtime presentation to staff in the British Embassy then speaking to the CVE (Countering Violent Etremism) task-force in the Department of Homeland Security (who asked her how she would spend a budget of $100,000,000! She then attended the UN General Assembly interactive dialogue on the responsibility to protect. 8. In summer 2016, the Ministry of Defence's Director of Defence Strategy and the Office fir Counter-Extremism in the Home Office asked for copies of the report. 9. In October 2016, our report featured as the second citation in HMG's BRICS call for concepts on Countering Violent Extremism in East Africa: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/561253/BRICS_Calls_for_Concepts_-__OCT2016.pdf

Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	We recruited Dr Andrew Glazzard to undertake a three month placement with the Office of Security & Counter-Terrorism (OSCT) to map their Science & Technology (S&T) requirements against the portfolio of PaCCS Research. Key aims of the project were to draw OSCT's attention to significant research that could deliver impact, and to highlight any significant gaps between supply and demand; Dr Glazzard identified and reviewed 191 relevant projects within the Global Uncertainties/PaCCS programme (with an further 20 found through Gateway to Research), linking them to six OSCT S&T research themes (Explosives; Radiological & Nuclear Threats; Biological & Chemical Threats; Emergency Service Response; Border & Aviation Security; "Pursue" (innovative approaches to identifying terrorist threats and activity). The response from the Home Office was remarkable: a letter from the relevant Deputy Director (Ian Gibson) noted that Dr Glazzard's efforts "to map the academic work being undertaken under PaCCS has opened our eyes to a significant volume of work of relevance to our work here. ... To take full advantage of these opportunities will require a change in the way we engage externally, and this piece of work has confirmed for us the benefits of taking an increasingly open approach."
Collaborator Contribution	The Home Office security cleared Dr Glazzard and provided desk-space in their head-quarters for him to work. They also supplied access to Civil Servants who described their requirements and provided detailed background information.
Impact	1. A presentation on findings was made to the Home Office officials in December 2014. 2. A detailed report was submitted to the Home Office in January 2015.

Company Name	Cobalt Light Systems Acquired by Agilent for £40m (2017) and wins Security and Policing Innovation Award (2018)
Description	Cobalt Light Systems is a spinout (dating from 2008) of the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Harwell, Oxfordshire. Cobalt's innovative suite of bench-top and handheld/portable Raman spectroscopic instruments are based on proprietary technologies that enable through-barrier identification of chemicals and materials. Traditional solutions based on conventional spectroscopy have limited capacities for detection of materials through sealed, non-transparent containers and are constrained to near-surface identification of materials such as pharma tablet coatings and containers.
Year Established	2017
Impact	In 2015, Cobalt Light Systems joined PaCCS's Academic Marketplace, expressly looking for industry partners. It was acquired in 2017 by Agilent. At the time it was recognised that by enabling measurement through opaque barriers and surfaces, Cobalt's solutions can analyze whole tablets or inside sealed containers reducing the need for quarantines and time-consuming sample processing and testing in pharmaceutical QC, hazardous chemical ID and security. The result is significant time, cost, and resource savings for customers as well as increased safety for certain market segments such as first responders or air passengers. Cobalt's customers include more than 20 of the largest 25 global pharmaceutical companies, and more than 75 airports across Europe and Asia-Pacific, including eight of the 10 largest European airports, with over 500 devices deployed at airport checkpoints. Recently, Cobalt has entered the hazardous substances markets with its handheld platform.

Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Since launching the Academic Market-Place 40 projects from 20 or more universities have been uploaded to the site. Those who have submitted projects are seeking industry partners and/or investors to turn their security-focused IP into products. In the first month the site had over 170 page views, with 477 visits in January-March 2015. In 2015 and 2016, members of the marketplace were involved in Home Office events designed to promote security research, and in 2017, one member of the Marketplace (Cytora) succeeded in raising £2.5m in funding from investors. Too soon to say, but it has generated very positive responses from both the RISC Council and the Home Office's Security & Resilience Growth Partnership Ministerial Steering Group.

Results and Impact	Following our engagement with the Science and Technology Briefing Day organised the the Office of Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT) in the Home Office .... we had the opportunity to work closely with both OSCT and Innovate UK to ensure that SBRI (Small Business Research Initiative) calls are suitable and appealing for researchers. We collectively identified potential obstacles to academia engaging effectively with these calls and are working together to improve the ecosystem for research to deliver impact. This was encapsulated in a blog (Helping researchers break into SBRI calls) that featured on the PaCCS website. This will have contributed to awareness-raising. we have some evidence of the impact this achieved from a meeting with the Home Office on17 February 2016. Tim Cook in the Office of Security and Counter Terrorism made a point of thanking us for the contribution made in 2015, noting - in his words - a remarkable jump in quality and quantity of bids for their research funds. He specifically highlighted Digital Forensics - the focus of our blog - where there were 65 responses (far larger than usual) with 11 proposals being funded. .

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	In November 2016, I was invited to participate in a workshop exploring options for encouraging academic start-ups in cybersecurity, organised by InnovateUK's Knowledge Transfer Network and Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The workshop was informed by the PaCCS Policy Briefing Innovation Challenges in Cybersecurity that I had co-authored with Dr Siraj Shaikh (from the KTN), and both Dr Shaikh and I had the opportunity to refer to the Briefing's findings in the course of discussion. The workshop was able to shape DCMS thinking about the use of funds to stimulate the formation of early-stage companies, and it led to a national initiative based on the ICURe model developed by the SETsquared Partnership. DCMS subsequently announced a new cyber security programme for Academia designed to progress cutting edge research ideas and support these towards commercial success. The new Cyber Security ICURe Innovation-to-Commercialisation programme, piloted by the SETsquared Partnership and Innovate UK, and funded by DCMS, offered university researchers with commercially-promising cyber security ideas up to £35k to 'get out of the lab' ideas to the marketplace. The call was over-subscribed, with twelve teams selected from eleven universities; the boot-camp to kick-start the process ran in mid-January 2017. The successful candidates - who have been offered the chance to join the Cybersecurity section of our PaCCS Academic Marketplace - are: Imperial College (GLFuzz: Securing Graphic Drivers); University of Southampton (Provenance for Digital Fabrication (3D Printing); University of Cambridge (Pico Authentication Ltd); Liverpool John Moores (InteraCtive CrYPtograpHic Protocol TEaching and LeaRning); Queen's University Belfast (IoT Security - central and distributed protection); University of Surrey (Password+); University of South Wales (Talbot: A SCADA/ICS Forensics Toolkit); Liverpool Hope University (Secret Sharing for Cloud and the Internet-of-things); Anglia Ruskin (Botprobe); Bournemouth University (Commercialisation of CAIRIS - Computer Aided Integration of Requirements and Information Security); University of Northampton (Commercialising the concept of a Corporate Cyber-Immune System); Liverpool John Moores University (Modelling Security Requirements for Businesses in 3D). There was a second programme in 2018 that ended in a Demo Day with thirteen successful teams: as set out here (https://admin.ktn-uk.co.uk/app/uploads/2019/02/Cyber-Security-Booklet-2019-Digital.pdf): City University of London (Find, classify, and analyse online extremist videos); Bournemouth University (Enabling agile teams to create digital products and services with security and privacy designed in); City University London (A searchable encryption enterprise solution for the Cloud); University of Oxford (Empowering home users for digital wellness and protection); University of West London Smart security for smart infrastructures); University of Warwick, in collaboration with Newcastle University & University of York (Verifiable electronic voting for real-world elections); University of Hertfordshire (TAME - Threat assessment model for information environments); University of Huddersfield (Autonomous identification and exploitation of security expertise from Security Information and Event Management data sources); London Metropolitan University (Easy use of voice controlled devices with guaranteed security); Liverpool John Moores University (Low-power and high-speed True Random Number Generator); University of Brighton (Privacy-by-Design toolkit); De Montfort University (Adaptive Cyber Threat Intelligence for Security Investment Optimisation); University of Wolverhampton (Cydon: An intelligent decentralised data management platform).

Results and Impact	The Ditchley Foundation brought together senior police officers from the UK, the USA and elsewhere (Europol, Pakistan, Singapore) to meet with thought-leaders in a three day closed conference to discuss the future of policing. The event was chaired by Cressida Dick, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, and included her members of her senior team, the Chief Constable leading the National Police Chiefs Council, the Deputy Director of the National Crime Agency, and the Deputy Mayor of London responsible for Policing; the head and deputy of New York Police Department and the Director of the International Association of Chiefs of Police were also present. There was extensive discussion about the challenges facing Law Enforcement Agencies in tackling terrorism, cybercrime and traditional "physical" crimes and as an active participant in these discussions I drew on my two PaCCS projects (as Eternal Champion and TNOC Research Integrator) to inform debate: I made three PaCCS Policy Papers available to discussants: "Transforming Research into Technology: Innovation for Defence and Security", http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/#; "NCA Requirements for Social and Behavioural Science", http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/REPORT_NCA-Requirements-Social-and-Behavioural-Sciences_FINAL-V2.0.pdf; and "Countering Violent Extremism through Media and Communication Strategies". An immediate outcome was passing questions that arose in relation to cyber-crime into the PaCCS team at RCUK to inform thinking about a new call on Transnational Organised Crime Research. My interventions around innovation also struck a chord with senior police officers (including the chair, Cressida Dick).

Results and Impact	The Enhanced Impact Scheme is a scheme designed to help researchers deliver impact through making connections to stakeholders in government, industry and civil society, and through providing advice about delivery of messages that stand some chance of being heard and acted upon. In the first 15 months of my Championship scheme 33 researchers have applied to take part: initial surgeries have been conducted and action plans drawn up. Subsequently, this has become an "open door", where researchers involved in security-related research can get in touch seeking help (and where stakeholders keen to connect with research can also receive advice). A key outcome is the introduction, where connections are made between researcher and stakeholder: I made 152 introductions over 22 months (April 2014 - December 2015), and expect the aggregate effect of these over the next decade will be significant. For instance, introducing the Centre for Secure IT (Queen's Belfast) to UKTI could lead to an investment in the Northern Ireland Science Park of c £150m; introducing the Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (based at Oxford) to Improbable (a gaming company) led to a £5m grant from EPSRC to develop simulation tools to model impacts on critical infrastructure, with Improbable contributing £750,000. Over 50 introductions have been made between the researchers in the scheme and stakeholders, leading to many follow-up conversations.

Results and Impact	In March 2014, I convened a conference at Chicheley Hall bringing together academic researchers from the Global Uncertainties Programme and non-academic stakeholders (principally from Government and Industry) to explore challenges and opportunities for researchers in delivering greater impact. The two-day event included presentations from policy-makers and industry representatives on what they were looking for from research, examples of effective impact emerging from research, and interactive breakout sessions where researchers presented their work to small teams of non-academics who helped them identify options for delivering impact. The proceedings and findings were published on the PaCCS website.

Results and Impact	Following an approach from the Department of Trade and Industry, I proposed the creation of a world-class Forensic Science Innovation Centre at Dundee University, with funds of c £50m channelled from overseas sponsors through UKTI's Innovation Gateway. I introduced UKTI's Innovation Gateway to Professors Sue Black and Niamh Nic Daeid at Dundee, and subsequently introduced the university to PilotLite Ventures (which specialise in advising the public sector on innovation hubs). This initiative ultimately ran into the sand, but Professor Dame Sue Black has written that this initiative led ultimately to success with the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science being created at Dundee in 2016. "You were instrumental," Professor Black has writtenm "in allowing us our flights of fancy in the early days when we were searching for a vehicle for our idea and much of the Leverhulme success could comfortably sit on your doorstep."

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	Adam Ingle's responsibilities include reforming the investigative powers of Australia's security, law enforcement and intelligence agencies to adapt to present and emerging communications technology and engaging with the tech companies who deliver it. He came to Cambridge as a Centre for Science & Policy Fellow and met me as part of a programme designed to meet his objectives which include: to benefit from the latest thinking on the security implications of emerging technologies (including internet of things, artificial intelligence, 5G and quantum computing); this will assist his continued efforts to create evidence-based policy and help me navigate shifting thresholds between privacy and security. Another aim is to connect with researchers who understand the wider regulatory, legal and societal challenges associated with the increasing role of personal data for governments and business. He came with a number of specific questions: 1. Will emerging technology (big data, the Internet of things and machine learning / decision-making) fundamentally change the balance between privacy and security? 2. If so, what principles should guide national security policy in an age of automated systems and datasets? 3. How can policy-makers be responsive to rapid technological change without stifling innovation? 4. Does the trans-border nature of data fatally limit national efforts to regulate digital technology? 5. Should technology manufactures and online service providers have a responsibility to national security and law enforcement agencies? I was able to brief him on my own work (in Government Service) exploring options for stimulating the development of innovative security solutions. I also discussed (and subsequently sent him) a PaCCS Policy Briefing on "Transforming Research into Technology: Innovation for Defence and Security" - https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/; and a link to my 2012 CSaP Fellowship Report "Improving the relationship between National Security Challenges and Academic Research" - www.csap.cam.ac.uk/links/13/435/.

Results and Impact	I met Ms Dimofte as part of her programme as a Fellow at Cambridge's Centre for Science and Policy. She is Public Policy Manager for Google UK with responsibility for content regulation, copyright and education policy. In this role, Alina leads on new regulatory frameworks for online content regulation, from AVMSD implementation to UK's online harms proposals. She sits on the Government's Digital Skills Partnership Board, the Creative Industries Federation Council and has recently joined Ofcom's Making Sense of Media Advisory Panel. Her objectives, in taking up the Fellowship, were to meet researchers and academics working on issues relating to online content regulation, free speech, and market competitiveness to get an overview of what drives their perspectives on the future of online regulation; and to learn more about data-driven research on online harms and take back suggestions on how platforms can work to improve user safety. She had the following questions: 1. As Governments are looking to propose new legislation governing online content, what are the models best fit for the digital age, which can increase user safety whilst also preserving free speech and incentivise innovation online? 2. What are some of the best practices from other industries and other jurisdictions to draw on, including models of state, self or co-regulation, and what are the ways to adapt them to the UK regulatory response to online harms? 3. What is the right balance of powers between Government, Parliament, an independent body and platforms, when it comes to deciding what speech is allowed online? 4. How can a 'duty of care' for online content management effectively differentiate between social media platforms and platforms don't host content as their primary purpose? 5. How can content regulatory frameworks like online harms provide a differentiated approach for illegal content vs speech that is 'legal but harmful' to ensure regulatory interventions are proportionate? 6. What does the future of intermediary liability safeguards look like in the UK and Europe? Our discussion focused on the contribution that has been made by the following outputs associated with PaCCS: https://www.corshaminstitute.org/trust-and-ethics-report-2016/; https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/ethical-regulatory-considerations/; and https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Countering-Violent-Extremism-Through-Media-and-Communication-Strategies-.pdf.

Results and Impact	Hannah was visiting Cambridge as a Fellow at the Centre for Science and Policy, with a number of questions linked to her work: 1. Given the known limitations of traditional surveying for hidden and community-specific crimes (e.g. forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child sexual exploitation and abuse), how can we develop reliable prevalence estimates to inform policy? What methods and messaging work to encourage reporting? 2. What do we understand to be the relationship between childhood trauma and adolescent risk taking, and what best practice exists for diverting young people away from harm? 3. What are the benefits of a gendered approach to individuals with multiple complex needs in the criminal justice system? 4. What is the role of technology in closing - rather than creating - opportunities for exploitation and abuse? How can we balance privacy and human rights with the need to protect people from these crimes? 5. How can we use behavioural insights to understand the way people act differently in the online to the offline world, and reverse the trend of increasingly extreme and abusive activity online? 6. How can we maximise the benefits and mitigate the risks of using predictive analytics to better target limited social welfare resources, and what is the role of professional judgement? In a wide-ranging discussion, I was able to draw her attention to a number of research projects and researchers (inside and outside the Global Uncertainties and PaCCS programmes) that could inform her work. These included: Professor Kevin Bales' work with Professor Bernard Silverman (former CSA at the Head Office) on Multiple Systems Estimation as a method for measuring the number of slaves in Britain today; this was employed in the following project: https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/modern-slavery-meaning-measurement/; Dr Adam Baird (Coventry University) has done interesting work on gender and crime (specifically masculine violence), including this project in our programme: https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/breaking-bad-dr-adam-baird/; the Centre for Forensic Linguistics at Aston University, led by Professor Tim Grant; the What Works Centre for Crime Reduction which Prof Gloria Laycock (UCL) has been running (https://esrc.ukri.org/about-us/50-years-of-esrc/outlook-at-50/gloria-laycock/); the work of Prof Per-Olof Wikstrom (https://www.crim.cam.ac.uk/People/professor-per-olof-wikstrom) on children/adolescents and crime.

Primary Audience	Third sector organisations
Results and Impact	Max came to see me in his capacity as a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge's Centre for Science and Policy. I was able to help him with the following Objectives and Questions: Objectives: Political strategy: The fellowship offers a fantastic opportunity to connect up academic research with broader political debates. We are consciously political in our policy work; I see my role as turning recommendations and academic thinking into something politically actionable. Collaboration: As far as possible we want our policy recommendations to be radical (but implementable). My objective would be to use the meetings to creatively test radical ideas and collaboratively build solutions, based on the work of the other fellows and academic experts. Research expertise: I have mapped out a specific work programme for the next year (reflected in the questions below). We're a small team and drawing on the deep research of the University would enhance our ability to create transformative recommendations. Multi-disciplinary approach: Cambridge University has particular experts in digital government, in geopolitics and tech innovation that I would like to work with. The call for multi-disciplinary policy making has become a truism, but my objective from the meetings would be to put that into practice. Questions. A. FOREIGN POLICY, GEOPOLITICS AND TECH: CAN WE BUILD A BETTER MODEL OF GLOBAL COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION THAT BUILDS ON THE BENEFITS OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION? 1. What does global tech policy and cooperation actually look like, is it even possible? How do we make a go of it given that the drivers of change are global tech companies and platforms? 2. Should we and can we build new multinational systems of cooperation that include big tech as well as nation states? 3. How do you address potential problems with the way internet rules are decided and negotiated? I.e. system thinking and design, open networks, multilateral cooperation B. ETHICS: AI AND INTERNET 4.Wh at is the liberal, progressive vision for a future internet that can help build more open, progressive and global societies? How can international collaboration achieve that? 5. How should social sciences be reflected in technology standards developments? Does politics belong here? 6. Is there such a thing as queer design in tech and policy? How can the concept of 'queering' be thought of within tech policy? C. FUTURE MODELS OF REGULATION 7. How can we build regulation as a service and bring forward innovations in reg tech? 8. Are the models of self-, co- and statutory regulation still fit for purpose? 9. How do we co-design new models of regulatory cooperation?

Results and Impact	The Private Secretary to the Minister for DCMS came to my office at the Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) as a CSaP Fellow exploring a number of strategic policy issues. The aim was to further his own thinking on key issues which could, in turn, be shared with the minister as well as officials in the department. He also wanted to build a much wider network in academia, aiming to share this network with officials in the department to make sure that government is abreast of the latest evidence and thinking and using this to guide policy making. He came with the following questions: 1.What is the correct role of the state (both individual states and organisations of multiple states) in the internet? 2.How can we change our democratic processes - particularly law making and voting - to keep up with the digital age? Should we? 3.How can central government encourage the growth of the video games and esports industries in the UK? At the end of an open-ended, hour-long one-to-one conversation, I provided him with the following outputs from PaCCS: • http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/cyber-security/ - see ref to use of short stories, films and computer games to communicate the threat of cyber attack; • http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/religion-contemporary-security/ - see reference to the use of the performing arts to help cross boundaries; • http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/ - exploring the challenge of overcoming barriers to innovation; • http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Countering-Violent-Extremism-Through-Media-and-Communication-Strategies-.pdf - see page 3, "Alternative Approaches" 3: "There is a growing evidence base suggesting that radio and television drama addressing issues of identity, reconciliation, and tolerance has an impact on public attitudes and behaviour."

She wanted to learn from others, challenge herown thinking about policy issues, broaden her capacity to consider issues in different ways, gain perspectives from outside hernormal circles, and engage in energetic and constructive debate with experts to improve her contribution to policy. She was seeking answers to the following questions. 1. Automating inequality: What can policy-makers do to create the right environment for technology to reduce inequality in society? What are the trade-offs we need to make when protecting the vulnerable in the fourth industrial revolution? 2. Ethical data: What are the global differences in how data ethics is being considered by governments around the world? Do different policy-makers put a different value on data and privacy? 3. BWhere can 'open data' initiatives deliver shared value across business, government and the third sector? 4. Investor and government relations: What role should the investor community play in the policy-making process? In what ways do the motivations and interests of business shareholders and policy-makers align? 5. Cyber: In what new ways could organisations with experience of major cyber attacks collectively share lessons learnt on a global stage? 6. Public data vs private gain: What factors should be considered when governments enable access to public data where commercial benefits accrue to private organisations? We addressed a number of these issues in discussion, where I drew on the work of PaCCS in general and my work as PaCCS Champion specifically. There was subsequent follow-up, with me sending her: the PaCCS Policy Briefing "Innovation Challenges in Cybersecurity": https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/cyber-security/; s list of Cybersecurity Research Institutes: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/research-institutes; and a link to that Corsham Institute Report that I worked on entitled "Trust and Ethics: Building a More Informed Digital Society" https://www.corshaminstitute.org/trust-and-ethics-report-2016/.

Results and Impact	Shachi Amdekar is an economist working on trade regulations and non-tariff measures at the Department of International Trade (DIT). She visited Cambridge as a Fellow of the Centre for Science and Policy looking to explore ways of working effectively with researchers. Her questions were: 1. How can DIT help to incentivise, foster and develop research in trade in UK universities, and optimise the mechanisms with which we work with researchers? 2. What are the strengths and limitations for approaching research in international trade using a multidisciplinary framework? 3. How can we minimise the measurement and valuation problems associated with trade data, especially concerning non-tariff measures, for both trade continuity work as well as new FTAs? 4. Given that innovation - and therefore productivity - can grow iteratively as well as in disruptive leaps, how can policy optimise these 2 pathways amongst UK SMEs? 5. How can the gains from international trade be shared across vulnerable groups? We had a wide-ranging discussion, which included reference to the following (with details shared subsequently): Public Contracts Regulation 2015; PaCCS Policy Briefings exploring the challenges to delivery of innovation (https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/; https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/cyber-security/;) RISC/JSaRC Workshop on Public Procurement: see attachment; this is an interesting effort to bring sides together to discuss challenges; the Security & Resilience Growth Partnership is commissioning a year-long study to get to grips with this and make recommendations; Academic Engagement: the report from my year-long Fellowship is here: www.csap.cam.ac.uk/links/13/435/.

Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	Susie Kitchen was visiting Cambridge as a Fellow at the Centre for Science and Policy, meeting me as part of the programme. Her objectives were to tap into academic expertise on how government policy can best contribute to an enabling environment in which science, tech and innovation (S T & I) can flourish; learning from other international case studies and UK best practice; testing the S,T&I policy ideas against perspectives on their application in sub Saharan African (particularly Kenyan) political and economic contexts; develop thinking on how the learning from Nairobi's cluster can be used to inform wider London policy making and applied to other Posts in the region. She came with the following questions: 1. How can HMG, as Kenya's partner, best support the fostering, translation and application of innovation? Does innovation need more or less legislation / government wrap-around? What lessons can be generalised, and for those that cannot, what are the most significant contextual factors? 2. What's the most impactful balance between quantitative (e.g. procurement quotas, tax regimes and subsidy programmes) vs qualitative (e.g. showcasing, behavioural nudges) government policies to create an enabling environment for innovative social / responsible enterprise and for crowding in appropriate investment? 3. What works well in international science / research networks, to support integration of knowledge from UK universities / research hubs into Kenyan structures and catalyse further (S,T&I) collaborations for mutual benefit? Does the evidence support a focus for HMG on partnering with a few centres of excellence, or on broader-based pushing up of the lowest academic standards? 4. How can HMG help mobilise an effective blend of financing tools: adapting ODA grant structures to de-risk and promote scale but not mask economic forces; mobilise local capital investment and build domestic angel networks that appreciate the value of patient capital. How can we help to reduce friction in the ecosystem between entrepreneurs / scalable businesses and access to capital? 5. What are the science and tech "best bets" HMG should focus on in Kenya? Is this an ethical approach, and how has it been effective in other countries? How can we mobilise the strong UK commercial footprint in Kenya to inform and realise the highest potential areas for tech development? 6. How have successful science / tech innovations been attributed to particular government actions, particularly in developing country contexts? Following our meeting, I sent Ms Kitchen one relevant PaCCS Policy Briefing ("From Research to technology": https://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/) as well as the text of an after-dinner talk I was invited by give by the Palmerston Society on "the politics of innovation".

Results and Impact	Mark Prince came to meet me in the course of his Fellowship with cambridge's Centre for Science and Policy. He was meeting sources of ideas and guidance to inform a programme with the following objectives: "The increased emphasis on digital policy both within trade, but also more broadly within society reflects shifts in the modern economy. My objective for the Policy Fellowship is to develop my thinking on the links between the modern economy and prosperity for all of society. By tapping into the wealth of knowledge and breadth of thought available from CSaP experts, I plan to explore several topics that link the global digital economy to regional development within the UK. My proposition goes beyond the remit of my trade policy role, to investigate the wider impacts of the digital and tech economy. During this policy fellowship I will explore the opportunities and benefits of the digital economy and its ability to deliver prosperity for the whole of the UK. I plan to do this by factoring in the needs and interests of UK regions, particularly those with different levels of economic prosperity. I will identify benefits from the digital revolution that will be available to all citizens, consumers and civil society, whichever part of the UK they are located in. Furthermore, I intend to highlight opportunities for UK to ensure that the digital revolution brings benefits for the whole country. Ultimately this research aims to contribute to UK society and industry by presenting new ideas to support the economic development of the UK's regions"

What does research tell us about successful leadership of large distributed organisations and the effective transition from set-up to maturity? 4. What methodologies are being used successfully to promote equality, diversity and inclusivity in academia in the UK and internationally (excluding Athena SWAN)? 5. How is digital technology being used in the health and care sector to engage citizens in rural and semi-rural areas in the UK and what tools are being used to assess effectiveness and impact? We had a wide-ranging discussion around interdisciplinary research and delivery of impact. Afterwards, I sent her the PaCCS Policy Briefing on innovation (http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/) and a paper on innovation written for HMG in 2011. I received the following feedback in an email: "I enjoyed our wide-ranging discussion and the observations you made about the culture of civil servants and academia, and how that could/should influence the way people in the sorts of roles we have engage with the parties to deliver. Thanks also for following up with the documents. Much appreciated."

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	Luke Hughes' key objective would be to gain a better understanding of the research landscape relevant to his current policy area and other 'big picture' issues with public policy implications. Having only recently moved into the social policy area, he would like to build his networks both within academia and the wider public policy arena, to give him sources of challenge and external perspective on policy issues that he works on now or in the future. Within the Exploitation Projects team, Luke and his colleagues can generate ideas for projects from a variety of sources, including academia. The project outputs enjoy considerable senior interest within and beyond the Home Office. Luke would be keen to get researchers' insights into where we could be focusing our efforts. Questions. 1. What do we know about how and why people become child sex offenders, and how might we intervene? 2. How and why do people's conceptions of ethics and morality vary between the offline and online worlds? 3. How might we measure the long-term impacts, at an individual and population level, of intervening in response to risk factors at an early stage in a young person's life? 4. In which country is it best to be a child, and what have they done right? 5. Companies and political campaigns are able to use sophisticated online data analytics to micro-target consumers and voters. How could the state micro-target citizens for the delivery of public services, in an ethical, legal and publicly acceptable way? 6. Much has been claimed for the potential for blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrency. What are its genuine advantages and areas of potential, and what are the implications for public policy? In discussion, we were able to address to a number of these questions, with introductions being made to the work of Dr Anna Sergi (PaCCS Placement into the National Crime Agency) and Prof Kevin Bales (PaCCS researcher and leading expert on Modern Slavery).

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	Mr Macdonald recognises that one of the characteristics of working in - and therefore auditing - this area of government is that many of the problems are partially hidden, making it hard to assess their prevalence and the success or failure of any action taken against them. Obvious examples of this include illegal immigration, terrorism and different kinds of crime. In these areas many individuals are positively trying to hide their presence, identity or activities. This means that government struggles to know what the scale of each problem is and whether its activities in response are proportionate or cost-effective. He was seeking help develop his own thinking and understanding by: (i) improving the quality and clarity of thinking on new subjects; (ii) establishing what the NAO's unique angle on a problem or areas of expenditure might be and how we could achieve impact from it; and (iii) thinking creatively about responding to proposals or ideas from elsewhere. Specific questions were: 1. Working towards improving the NAO's audit of government responses to issues such as illegal immigration, terrorism and different kinds of crime, and specifically considering those individuals or groups engaged in illegal and harmful activities (e.g. cyber-crime, terrorism, serious and organised crime), a. How can we most effectively measure and evaluate both the scale of, and interventions to tackle, more 'hidden' public policy problems such as crime or terrorism? b. What kind of methodologies could go beyond the typical NAO methods, e.g. file review, interview and quantitative analysis? Are there methodologies from other disciplines suited to unlocking this kind of policy area? 2. What combination of using primary data, carrying out secondary research and employing other methods can researchers already working in related fields (e.g. criminology, cyber security, extremism/terrorism etc) recommend? 3. What can we learn from fields outside public policy about novel ways of understanding and evaluating both the scale of, and interventions to tackle, hidden issues? I am keen to discuss this evidential challenge with researchers from disparate fields with less obvious connections to my fields of inquiry (e.g. ancient history, astronomy, archaeology) but which share the challenge of a limited and partly hidden evidence base. Thinking more laterally, it could also be interesting to meet colleagues involved in considering the nature of knowledge itself. In a wide-ranging conversation, we covered the challenge of delivering research impact for National Security; the contribution that mathematics can make (including the use of Inverse Problem Theory); and collaborative, international work on understanding the Mafia and (separately) countering violent extremism through communications strategies.

Questions included: 1. What are the emerging ethical and social issues posed by the growth in power and use of data, algorithms and AI? 2. What is known about the distributional and cumulative impact of data/AI on society? 3. What are research priorities in this area to provide an empirical platform for debate? Do we need new methodologies or metrics? 4. How can those who design and use data and AI systems consider their impact on society; how can they be supported and incentivised to act ethically? 5. How can people be protected and empowered in a data-driven society: what technical, legal, practical, or policy measures could be adopted? Do we need to pursue new approaches to realise benefits and protect against harms in this global technology? 6. What are the best models for interdisciplinary research and deliberation at pace? What good models exist for bridging gaps between academia, technical practice, ethical deliberation and practical action? Following our conversation, I provided her with links to a number of relevant PaCCS Policy Briefings. She responded: "Thank you for the reading list, and for your time and thoughts earlier. Both extremely helpful.Our discussed sparked some thoughts and lines of inquiry for finalising plans for the institute. In particular: a) On commitment, the question of how we should engage with industry (techUK is one of our steering partners) and what we should ask of industry who engage with us to ensure there can be in situ testing and impact; b) Models for quicker ad hoc research, I'll follow up with the Behavioural Health Research Institute on their models for interdisciplinary work, and how they manage their two-week, rapid question investigation. I've been looking over the notes from our conversation, and you mentioned Tom Sorrell in the context of ethics policy and privacy by design. He's not somewhere I have encountered, but seems like an excellent person to speak to in the context of Ada Lovelace. Would you mind if I contacted him, mentioning you?" I followed up with an introduction to Prof Sorrell (a PaCCS Leadership Fellow).

Results and Impact	My visitor (a Fellow at Cambridge's Centre for Science and Policy) wanted to widen her perspective on issues of controversial content and intermediary liability regarding controversial content, outside of Google and the outside of the Israeli context. Her aim was to engage on varied, comprehensive approaches to questions regarding the balance between freedom of expression and other constitutional rights, especially, in the context of controversial content. her questions were: 1. Legal liability and beyond: what are the arguments (and counter arguments) at the basis of calls for proactive involvement of intermediaries, in fighting controversial content online (especially regarding hate speech and incitement)? I'd like to explore legal, philosophical, technological and political arguments. 2. Can (and should) national states maintain their sovereignty regarding the types of content that will be accessible to their citizens, in a world of global digital platforms? 3.

Description	Meeting/briefing UK Research and Innovation's Strategy lead for Equality Diversity and Inclusion and Research Culture
Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	I received a visit from UKRI's Strategy Lead who was pursuing a Fellowship with Cambridge's Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP). Her goals were a) to engage with the leading experts to help me best shape UK Research and Innovation's policies for equality, diversity and inclusion and research culture (integrity, ethics, reproducibility); b) to engage with experts through the various fora offered by the fellowship to help me scope a UKRI strategy for knowledge exchange between academic experts and Whitehall policy makers; c) t establish a network of expert contacts and stakeholders to help me make excellent strategic decisions, and develop policy to deliver on UKRI's Strategic Prospectus. Key questions were: what should a UK research and innovation strategy look like; what are the equality, diversity and inclusion challenges in the UK research and innovation landscape, and how are these best addressed; how can we ensure that UK research and innovation is conducted with integrity and is ethically sound and thereby preserve and strengthen the UK's position as a global leader; how can research best feed into policy making; what is the role of place and international relations in UK S&T policy? We had an hour-long discussion, and one specific action was to pass her a link to the "Dangerous Science" PaCCS Policy Briefing (http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/ethics-dangerous-science/#).

Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	I received a visit to my office at the Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) in April 2018 from the Head of Counter-Terrorism Performance at the Cabinet Office. She was lead the development of a cross-government monitoring and evaluation framework for counter-terrorism; both domestically and internationally. This wasthe first time that all the evidence from across government has been drawn together in a structured way to enable Ministers and senior officials to monitor progress against a shared set of strategic outcomes and objectives. The framework will be used by NSC and senior officials to make better informed decisions about how to allocate and prioritise resource to meet strategic CT objectives. Her visit to Cambridge as a CSaP Fellow was driven by the following objectives: a) to gather some practical examples of techniques and data that could be used to develop the framework further - particularly to build it from a monitoring framework into an evaluation framework; b) to start to explore the evidence base that is available in academia against the new monitoring/evidence framework; c) to seek guidance on the methods and data we could use to better understand the impact of the whole of the counter-terrorism response on reducing the risk from terrorism. In addition, she hopes to develop long-term working relationships with researchers that we can draw on in the future, including in disciplines that are not traditionally related to security. Following an hour-long one-to-one meeting, I provided her with my own Fellowship Report from an earlier project funded by the Global Uncertainties Programme (www.csap.cam.ac.uk/links/13/435/); b) Kate Ferguson's Evidence Review on counter-narratives: http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Countering-Violent-Extremism-Through-Media-and-Communication-Strategies-.pdf; c) the PaCCS Policy Briefing on responsible research: http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/ethics-dangerous-science/; and d) an introduction to Cambridge's Centre for Urban Conflict (run by PaCCS Fellow Wendy Pullen)..

Results and Impact	In September 2016, I was invited to MoD Main Building to meet the head of DSP. This followed efforts over more than two years to encourage the MoD to engage with PaCCS - for instance in the lead-up to the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR). I had first visited DSP in July 2014, and visited a second time in February 2015, with a number of follow-up emails. This latest visit represents something of a watershed, on the basis of the message received from the MoD after the meeting: "We are very enthused about the prospect of building a longer-term strategic partnership with the UK research base. We will be stepping up a gear with our internal work-planning in the next few weeks, and our approach to academic engagement is a key work-strand within that. I hope to be back in touch with you very soon to build on our early discussion." In December 2016 I handed this contact over to Prof David Galbreath (as the Leadership Fellow for PaCCS's Conflict Theme) and ESRC.

Results and Impact	55 participants from Government, Faith Groups, Civil Society and Academia came together in the Work Foundation to discuss the research of four Global Uncertainties Leadership Fellows - Professors Kim Knott (Lancaster University), Rob Gleave (Exeter University), Peter Morey (University of East London) and John Wolffe (Open University) all of whom have explored questions around religion and contemporary security challenges. We held round-table discussions which helped to ground the research in everyday experience of people working with and thinking about security challenges. Very positive feedback was received, with participants scoring the event 3.7 out of 4. The results were written up in a PaCCS Policy Briefing, published in 2016; the event also informed the publication of an article in The Conversation UK. Ripples from this conference continue to spread out. In January 2017, I was invited to the House of Lords to brief Lord Pearson (former UKIP leader) and Alan Craig (leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance), both of whom are developing somewhat anti-Muslim rhetoric. As I sought to address and counter their views, I relied heavily on the outputs from this seminar.

Results and Impact	Following their presentation at the launch of the Market-Place, NuAge Vision trialled a coaching workshop for members of the Academic Marketplace (from UCL and Sheffield University) to explore the knowledge, tools and skills needed to transform research into successful products and services. There were a number of outputs: a) we have published a blog on the workshop, together with workshop resources, on the website; b) one idea to emerge from the workshop was a request that we create a "map" of the opportunities (including grants and schemes) designed to support academic researchers interested in commercializing their work; this is in hand; c) the content of the workshop was found to be very useful, but we identified a challenge in making this available to busy researchers from across the UK; in order to make this coaching more accessible to our community, we explored the option of running a webinar (eg on recognising business opportunities, understanding markets and developing business models).

Description	PaCCS/Brilliant Club 6th Formers Workshop - Religion and Conflict
Form Of Engagement Activity	Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	Regional
Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	This event, held on 22 September 2016, built on the Policy Workshop in 2015 (when we brought policy-makers, NGOs and faith groups together with PaCCS researchers), and the Policy Briefing (Religion and Contemporary Security Challenges) published in the Spring of 2016. Now, our researchers had the chance to engage with 6th Form pupils, with the emphasis on creating the conditions for the schoolchildren themselves to discuss the issues. Alex Benham, our first Communications Coordinator, had already proposed the idea of PaCCS conferences for schoolchildren in her Communications Strategy, and an introduction to The Brilliant Club provided access to pupils who could derive the greatest benefit from this initiative. The Brilliant Club is an award winning charity that exists to widen access to universities for pupils from under-represented groups. They recruit, train and place doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in non-selective state schools across the country. Five schools were involved: Bushey Academy (Bushey), Fortismere School (Muswell Hill), Greenshaw High School (Sutton), King Solomon Academy (Marylebone), and St James Catholic High School (Barnet). Each sent about a dozen 6th Formers to our workshop in Camden Town, with the venue generously provided by the Open University. The day was structured around two big questions - "How does religion become entangled with conflict and violence?" and "Is there anything we can do about it?" Through parallel round-table discussions and plenary feedback sessions, we explored a number of sub-themes: identity and difference; trust & mistrust; insecurity and alienation; closed minds and stereotypes. Discussion groups were led by: Prof Kate Cooper (Manchester), Zehra Jaffer (Vice-Principal of Skinner's Academy), Dr Tayyeb Mimouni (Exeter), Prof Rob Gleave (Exeter), Prof Peter Mory (UEL), Prof Quassim Cassan (Warwick) and Prof John Wolffe (Open University). We placed one serious obligation on all the pupils. When they get back to their classrooms, each is to compose one or two paragraphs - to be used in the Personal Statement accompanying university applications - describing what they did and what they gained from the day.That way, the day delivers an enduring legacy.

Results and Impact	We were invited by the Home Office and the Department for Transport to support their plans for Science and Technology research calls in 2016, at an event that took place on 23 May 2016. There was a particular focus this year on detection capabilities. We were allocated a dedicated PaCCS space in the BIS Conference Centre, and organised a programme of presentations to industry by the following university-based teams seeking to commercialise their research: Cardiff University (QMC Instruments Ltd) on terahertz cameras from astronomy used for high-sensitivity security screening and plasma diagnostics; Durham University (School of Engineering & Computing Sciences) on Automatic Object Recognition techniques for threat item detection in CT & X-ray baggage security; Manchester Metropolitan University (Sensing & Imaging Group) on Millimetric Wave and Microwave detection of weapons and explosives; Liverpool University (Nuclear Physics Group) on Portable Gamma Ray Imaging Spectrometer: detecting radioactive materials Newcastle University (Selective Antibodies) See it on the Stick tests to detect CBRNe agents very rapidly displayed as a positive line on a dipstick; Oxford University (Department of Materials) on Percolation Sensors for ultra-sensitive detection of vapour traces of explosives; UCL ((Dept of Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering) ON Novel solutions for through-barrier material identification and radioactive material detection/mapping. We were invited to stay on after the Briefing Day had finished, to allow these teams to present again to a cross-section of Government officials and technologists working in the National Security arena, giving individual teams a chance to receive feedback from HMG on the "market" for their technology within Government agencies. (This idea came from the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, after their participation in the launch of the PaCCS Academic Marketplace in March 2015). There was positive feedback, including a letter of thanks (dated 15 June 2016) received from the Home Office's Director for Prepare, Protect, CT Science and CBRNE in the Office of Security and Counter-Terrorism who wrote: I'm hugely grateful for the effort that yourself and Natalia put in to making the engagement day a success. The sheer numbers that turned out for the event, and the excellent feedback that we have received, once again demonstrated to us the benefit of these pre-procurement dialogues with industry and academia. The role that organisations such as PaCCS have to play in helping us reach out to the security sector in crucial, and my team will continue to look to your support, advice and assistance in facilitating this engagement as we look to deliver a challenging range of innovation calls this year." Recently, I have heard from Prof Martin Castell at Oxford that the CEO of Cell Metric, came to visit Oxford after the talk, to discuss commercial collaboration; discussions remain at an early stage. And Dr Toby Breckon (Durham) has reported on a couple of new research contracts and a collaboration with two new manufacturers - developments which he partly ascribes to the exposure gained at this event. We have also heard from Ken Wood of Cardiff's WMC Ltd, who reports that in addition to meeting up with a couple of contacts (made at the event) to discuss general aspects of airport security hardware, they have recently been offered Phase 1 funding for HMG's Future of Aviation Security Solutions call.

Results and Impact	(OSCT) held a Briefing & Networking day in July to provide academia & industry with information on three SBRI calls under their Science and Technology Programme. At the event, we delivered an address to participants on the research landscape in the UK, the benefits of collaborative research projects and the role of the Partnership in helping to facilitate these. We also sourced four academic researchers to present their work to participants, highlighting examples of innovative research. We received feedback from all four researchers that these presentations led to follow-up discussions with representatives from government and industry. Following the event, we have been working closely with both OSCT and Innovate UK to ensure the SBRI calls are suitable and appealing for researchers. We have collectively identified potential obstacles to academia engaging effectively with these calls and we are working together to improve the ecosystem for research to deliver impact. (See the blog "Helping researchers break into SBRI calls": http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/blog/helping-researchers-break-sbri-calls/). On 17 February 2016 we were invited into the Home Office, as it prepared for its 2016 S and T programme. Tim Cook in OSCT made a point of thanking us for the contribution made in 2015, noting - in his words - a remarkable jump in quality and quantity of bids for their research funds. There were, for instance, 65 responses to the Digital Forensics; call, with 11 proposals being funded.

Results and Impact	I was commissioned by the Research Councils and MOD/Dstl to support the delivery of impact from the PaCCS programme of research entitled Science and Security. Following a successful Policy Workshop on 1 March 2016 (on the subject of Governance, Ethics and the Law), I organised a second workshop on 20 May 2016 on the subject of Responsive Research and Development. This took place at the Royal Society and was chaired by Professor Theo Farrell, with keynote address by Mat Hunter (formerly Chief Design Officer at the Design Council) and presentations from Dr Michael Bourne (Queen's University of Belfast), Professor Mary Kaldor (London School of Economics & Political Science), Dr Andrew James (University of Manchester) and Mr David Crozier (Centre for Secure Information Technology, Queen's University Belfast). This workshop explored how we can best promote a responsive innovation ecosystem where scientists & engineers, end-users & policy-makers work together (with industry & the investment sector) to address capability gaps in defence and security (including humanitarian operations). A PaCCS Policy Briefing was subsequently produced and given wide dissemination. It was entitled Transforming Research into Technology: Innovation for Defence and Security (http://www.paccsresearch.org.uk/policy-briefings/innovation-defence-security/)
