“We welcome today’s publication of the Innovation strategy. Alliance universities are a longstanding, stable presence in their regions and are well-placed to support the strategy’s ambitions, through unleashing innovation to deliver economic opportunity and drive growth.
Sitting at the nexus of higher education and industry, our members can utilise their networks of graduates in many different occupations, and close relationships with businesses and public sector bodies, to commercialise research and act as hubs of innovation activity.”
UA welcomes the government investment to strengthen the UK’s defence skills pipeline, with four of our member universities awarded funding through the Strategic Priorities Grant.
University Alliance has raised concerns about proposals to restrict entry requirements to university, which have been recommended in Policy Exchange’s Tarnished Towers report.
