Science: Research

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 3 November to Question 72254 on Science: Research, for a spending breakdown of the £750m funding committed to supporting international partnerships.

Answer

This Department has committed around £750 million of funding for international science, technology, research and innovation partnerships over this Spending Review period. This funding will be delivered through our existing funding mechanisms – the Global Challenges Research Fund, the Newton Fund and the Fund for International Collaboration – until these come to a natural close.

These will be succeeded by a new funding vehicle to mobilise both ODA- and non-ODA-eligible international research activity, to support collaboration in areas both of UK strategic advantage and to support development priorities. This funding vehicle is still in development so precise funding figures will be confirmed at launch.
