Innovation, Universities and Skills written question – answered at on 27 March 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills what his assessment is of the contribution universities make to business.
Universities make an important contribution to business through research, knowledge transfer, innovation and work force development, in addition to supplying skilled and knowledgeable graduates. We have invested in university-business collaboration through increases in the Higher Education Innovation Fund and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and a stronger focus on the economic impact of research. Work force development is less developed and we will consult through a Higher Level Skills Strategy on how universities can better meet this challenge.
