  3. CMI Strategy 3 strategic thrusts: Education Research Knowledge exchange with industry

  4. First phase (up to 2006) had money for research Next phase (being negotiated) will only have money to facilitate the provision of benefit to industry, the economy and the public good As well as educational innovation and enhancing the regions

  5. EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS Benefit to industry and the public good Energy sustainability Financial Innovation Future Healthcare Creative Industries Transport Construction industry

  6. Example: biology Research project: next-generation drug discovery (cut down the cost of new drugs) MPhil degree in computational biology Undergraduate courses in biological engineering

  7. Master’s degree MPhil in Computational Biology Combines technical material with 48 hours of lectures on management of technology and innovation and sends students into industry for part of the course

  8. Biological engineering Gives undergraduate engineers enough biology and enough mathematics to contribute to an exciting new sector of the economy

  9. To help industry, eg transport, we need access to a variety of expertise in more than one university By joining together, the academics will contribute more effectively And have more impact on their region And have a better chance of pulling in funding

  10. It is very exciting There are huge opportunities to enable the UK to maintain its economic strength in the face of increasing world competition And to give the public a better deal
