[Turing-Southampton] Contribute to the Turing response to UK Government's R&D Roadmap

[Susan Davies]

Dear Turing community members,

As you may be aware, the Government recently published their UK Research and Development Roadmap<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fuk-research-and-development-roadmap%2Fuk-research-and-development-roadmap&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cf79eb9a9f8d14023b81208d82e1d1c39%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=4mi3i3kMSvGdVO5q58s1bKleMMI5t%2Fst7mqJn2DpJXY%3D&reserved=0>. Over the coming months the Government intends to develop the proposals in this Roadmap in a R&D plan and have invited responses to the Roadmap in an online survey of high-level questions<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeisgovuk.citizenspace.com%2Finnovation%2Fr-and-d-survey%2F&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cf79eb9a9f8d14023b81208d82e1d1c39%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=vWfXOP1VGxwVNQBEgu5Sna3K4DCBaGEJc1CAep%2Brlbc%3D&reserved=0>.

The Institute is considering submitting a response, and so we would like to include the views of as many individuals as possible from the Turing community. To that end, we are wondering if we can get your help in sharing our call for feedback with relevant individuals in your universities or programmes.

The public consultation requests feedback on these eight questions:

  *   How can we best increase knowledge and understanding through research, including by achieving bigger breakthroughs?
  *   How can we maximise the economic, environmental and societal impact of research through effective application of new knowledge?
  *   How can we encourage innovation and ensure it is used to greatest effect, not just in our cutting-edge industries, but right across the economy and throughout our public services?
  *   How can we attract, retain and develop talented and diverse people to R&D roles? How can we make R&D for everyone?
  *   How should we ensure that R&D plays its fullest role in levelling up all over the UK?
  *   How should we strengthen our research infrastructure and institutions in support of our vision?
  *   How should we most effectively and safely collaborate with partners and networks around the globe?
  *   How can we harness excitement about this vision, listen to a wider range of voices to ensure R&D is delivering for society, and inspire a whole new generation of scientists, researchers, technicians, engineers, and innovators?

We welcome any contributions to the Turing's response (up to 300 words for each of the questions above). Submissions should be written in an accessible manner with a clearly defined contribution. Any references to relevant projects or work currently underway at the Turing are particularly welcomed. As a previous example of a coordinated consultation response from the Institute, please read the Turing's response<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2018-09%2Fresponse_of_the_alan_turing_institute_to_dcms_cdei_consultation.pdf&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cf79eb9a9f8d14023b81208d82e1d1c39%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=2R8uJ6CyzUKlW%2BkLfqCJNFXoxDK%2BRwlM8RvxlAu%2B5pQ%3D&reserved=0> to the formation of the Centre of Data Ethics & Innovation.

Please send submissions no later than midday Monday 3rd August (earlier, of course, preferred and welcome) to me (amulji at turing.ac.uk<mailto:amulji at turing.ac.uk>).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you in advance for your contributions!

Best wishes,

Amit Mulji
