UK policy UK policy development informed though identifying good practice internationally. Opportunity International science collaboration of best with best facilitated to the benefit of UK. International innovation collaboration facilitated to augment UK technological capabilities.

3 UK SCIENCE AND INNOVATION NETWORK Europe (17) North: Stockholm (2), Copenhagen (1) Central/East: Berlin (3), Munich (1), Berne (2), Warsaw (2), Prague (1) West: Paris (3), The Hague (1), Rome (1), Milan (1), Madrid (1) UK London (BIS/FCO) Russia (2) Moscow (2) Turkey China (12) Beijing (5), Guangzhou (3), Shanghai (3), Chongqing (1) South Korea (3) Seoul (3) Canada (4) Ottawa (2), Toronto (2) Japan (11) Tokyo (9), Osaka (2) Taiwan (2) Taipei (2) Southeast Asia (4) Singapore (3), KL (1) New Zealand (1) Wellington (1) USA (14) Washington DC (3), Atlanta (1), Boston (2), Chicago (1), Houston (2), LA (2), San Francisco (3) Brazil (4) Brasilia (1) Sao Paulo (3) S.Africa & Nigeria Israel (1) Tel Aviv (1) Qatar India (10) Delhi (5), Mumbai (2), Bangalore (3) KEY: Red text = posts created since 2010

6 innovation is increasingly global too!

7 Lessons from China. > The scale is mind-blowing > Population 1.3bn > Geographic area = 39 times that of the UK > Science spend = 80bn / year > The pace of change is incomprehensible > Chinese spending on science has grown by 20% per year since 1999 > 2 nd largest publisher of scientific papers; set to overtake USA by 2020 (possible as early as 2013) > 1.5 million science and engineering graduates a year > The ambition is admirable > 2.5% GDP and Innovation Nation by 2020 > Early results are promising > Space programme, Compass satellite navigation, supercomputers, fast neutron reactor on the power grid, manned submersible down to 5000m, J- 20 stealth fighter and shanzai innovations

8 UK-CHINA PARTNERS IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING: WHY? 1) Faster solutions to global challenges e.g. climate change, health, energy, water & food 2) Specialisation. e.g. Fudan-Tyndall Climate Change R&D Centre 3) Increasing scientific quality and impact: 12% of UK-China papers are highly cited, compared to 8% for UK only and 7% for China-only papers 4) Increased talent flows and University exchanges 5) Joint development of technologies and economic return

9 What do we have to work with? - 1% of World s Population - 4.6bn public R&D / year - Science = protected spend - Highest quality research - 8% scientific papers - 12% most highly cited papers - 4 of top 10 world Universities top 8 EU Universities - 76 science Nobel Laureates Most productive global science nation (Elsevier 2011) Leading G8 country for research productivity; 45 research papers per billion pounds of GDP, compared to 25 (USA) and 15 (Japan) Highest share of growth from science for G8

10 UK-CHINA PARTNERS IN SCIENCE: HOW? o UK-China Ministerial Science and Innovation Joint Commission 2011 priorities: - Health - Energy - Agriculture -Innovation RCUK-China Joint Research Programmes: 40m including energy & stem cells People exchanges e.g. PhD programmes with China Scholarship Council / 100k Chinese students in the UK University linkages: over 160 and growing Company R&D Centres & Commercial Joint Ventures

11 Learning from the outcomes > The UK is well placed but has no room for complacency >UK is China s 3 rd most important co-publication partner after US and Japan > UK and China s R&D and innovation systems are different > China s top-down system allows for decisive action from the top, suitable to its catch-up status It can also make collaboration with the UK bottom-up system a challenge, e.g. peer review > Chinese research quality is variable. choosing the right partner is key > UK-China papers are more highly cited but there are also more uncited > Relationships matter! Building trust is effective in overcoming barriers this requires a time investment, but pays dividends e.g. EPSRC energy programme > The UK has a wide range of tools to engage China: > 6 Academies Partnership on synthetic biology > Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering > University linkages Nottingham, Liverpool campuses > Science and Innovation Network & RCUK China

12 UK-China: Innovation nations China s choices on innovation: UK s approach to engaging China: Technonationalist Technoglobalist UNDERSTANDING INFLUENCE OPPORTUNITY

13 Final thoughts > The most fundamental lesson is the importance of investing in R&D > To maintain our leading position in science and engineering the UK needs to be ahead of the pack in developing win-win international collaborations > UK s devolved system is an undeniable strength but means we need to work extra hard to coordinate and join up > The rise of the emerging science nations is a recent phenomenon: results are still in their infancy > The pace of change renders recent experience historic > UK has world-beating science and engineering we should remember and broadcast the fact!
