To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps she is taking to integrate research opportunities to maximise research capacity.
Andrew Griffith
Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
Since publication of the R&D People and Culture Strategy, the Government has been working with the R&D sector to integrate research opportunities and to maximise research capacity. To deliver the New Deal for Postgraduate Research, and as part of its Collective Talent Funding, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is currently reviewing its provision for collaborative doctoral training, working with stakeholders inside and outside of academia to integrate postgraduate research opportunities.
Alongside this, UKRI has increased the minimum stipend to ensure the UK’s offer remains internationally competitive and attractive to the full range of potential students seeking to pursue a R&D career in the UK.
