Research value-chain:

Improving the Effectiveness of University-Business Interaction

We are conducting comparative case studies, supported by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation of Japan, to investigate the use of university research by business as drivers of economic development in four countries; the UK, the USA, Canada and Japan.

These studies, funded by the UK Funding Councils and others, will investigate how UK universities are internationalising and how this is meeting the needs of international business and employers.
