Full Description

- The Government have invited consortia to undertake analysis at a local level in the form of Science and Innovation Audits (SIAs) . Through these SIAs, consortia are mapping local research and innovation strengths and infrastructure, providing new innovative ways to identify and build on areas of greatest potential across the UK.

- This specification is to continue to supply rigorous analytical support to the Wave 3 consortia as they develop their SIAs.

As well as mapping future growth potential, the SIAs will examine the current mechanisms through which investment in science and innovation in their area leads to local productivity, international trade and investment, and growth, and any barriers to this growth being realised. This will be done by linking the following:
- Excellence in science and research highlighting areas of world leading strengths
- Strengths in innovation activity
- Science and innovation assets including institutes and facilities
- Local industrial strengths and capacity especially in nascent industries and emerging disruptive technologies
- Local strengths in international trade and attracting international investment
- The ability to work collaboratively across the science and innovation landscape
- Level of engagement with and by the business community
- Coherence with other existing or planned local or national activity to support research and innovation including the development of local infrastructure
