13. Long Term Outcomes: Treasury Definition of EI ‘An action or activity has an economic impact when it affects the welfare of consumers, the profits of firms and/or the revenue of government. Economic impacts range from those that are readily quantifiable, in terms of greater wealth, cheaper prices and more revenue, to those less easily quantifiable, such as effects on the environment, public health and quality of life’

15. Existing STFC KE Activities

16. Brokering and promotional events Direct contract for proprietary work Training and secondments STFC Engagement with Industry Supply through procurement contracts Collaboration with HEI partners Direct collaboration with STFC Consultancy to industry

17. Technology Development • Often far from market • Technology applied in other disciplines (‘oblique innovation’) • Stage gate funding • Assist HEIs to exploit technologies • Broker interactions for and with industry (KITE, KTNs) • Unique funding opportunities for industry • Access to facilities and grant programmes

18. STFC KITE Club programme of workshops and events for the benefit of academics, industrialists and research and technology organisations.  • Aims are to: • Encourage entrepreneurship amongst the STFC academic community • Act as gateway to information about STFC programme and external activities • Provide opportunities for networking • Increase number of active partnerships working in areas of mutual interest • Topics covered can include: • Focus on specific technology themes • Core science projects • Business advice.

19. Current Funding Schemes Discipline Hoppers DIUS Technology Programme Enterprise Fellowships Follow on Fund Rainbow Seed Fund Partnership Schemes Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Research In Industry Funding 7th EU Framework Programme

20. Wholly owned subsidiary for commercialisation and exploitation of STFC IP • Patents • Licences • Spin-out companies • Innovation Advisory Service • Wider Access Sales Team

22. Science and Innovation Framework 2004 – 2014, Next Steps Creating “Science and Innovation Campuses” ‘….In support of these objectives, the Government has decided that the Harwell site, which includes RAL, and the Daresbury site should become the Harwell and Daresbury Science and Innovation Campuses respectively. The Government will look to develop these campuses so as to ensure that the facilities located there are internationally competitive, support world-class science, and maximise opportunities for knowledge transfer. Work has been commissioned to explore how this should be delivered in practice.’ Creation of the Science and Innovation Campuses

23. THE CAMPUS ‘DIPOLE’

24. Campuses will provide a new mechanism for engagement with industry Creation of science and innovation communities National Exemplars for Open Innovation

25. Strategic Partnerships Harwell SIC 50:50 Joint Venture Public sector partners UKAEA and STFC Private sector partner Daresbury SIC Public sector partners STFC, NWDA, HBC HEI partners Manchester, Lancaster, Liverpool Property developer St. Modwen
