Public R&D Investment Into the West Midlands Public R&D investment into the West Midlands (data sets) Simon Collinson and Kelvin Humphreys Regional R&D Funding Flows in the UK: The West Midlands case This presentation provides a series of figures and data tables mapping R&D funding across UK regions, taking the West Midlands as an illustrative case study. The key sections are: 1. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) purpose and remit and regional patterns of research funding 2. UKRI Funding Distribution across West Midlands Regional Universities 3. Innovate UK and Research England Funding by Region, University and Sector 4. UKRI Funding: Regional Collaborations 5. Private Sector R&D Funding in the West Midlands Public R&D Investment into the West Midlands 1. The UKRI: Patterns of Research and Innovation Funding Public R&D Investment into the West Midlands UKRI: Purpose UK Research and Innovation is a non-departmental public body sponsored by BEIS and was established by the HER Act 2017. It has been set up by bringing together the seven research councils, Innovate UK, and the research and knowledge exchange functions of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). UKRI’s main purpose is to invest in and facilitate research and innovation activities across the United Kingdom. Its aims are to work with its partners to ensure that world-leading research and innovation continues to grow and flourish in the UK. It will support and help to connect the best researchers and businesses. It will invest every pound of taxpayers’ money wisely in a way that generates excellent outcomes and ultimately impact for citizens, in the UK and across the world. UKRI will: (a) Push the frontiers of human knowledge and understanding (b) Deliver economic impact (c) Create social and cultural impact by supporting society to become enriched, healthier, more resilient and sustainable Public R&D Investment into the West Midlands UKRI Competitive Funding Decisions NB. Data excludes Innovate UK, Research England and non-UK organisations West Midlands (WM) is awarded funds at a significantly lower rate than other regions (ex-Northern Ireland). The gap is worse based on award rate by value suggesting larger bids are not being awarded. Award rate (by value) is lower than all regions except Northern Ireland Public R&D Investment into the West Midlands UKRI Competitive Funding Decisions NB.

  • Staffordshire University Access Agreement 2018-19
    STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY ACCESS AGREEMENT 2018-19 Introduction 1. Staffordshire University has developed an ambitious new statement of its strategy, expressed in its Strategic Plan 2016-2020 approved by the Board of Governors in September 2016. In the section on Connecting Communities, the plan states that the University will: work with our Schools, Colleges and Partners to continue to RAISE ASPIRATIONS and improve progression in the region into Higher Education be connected LOCALLY contributing to local social and economic development and to improve the local education standards of our community offer flexible, inclusive and ACCESSIBLE COURSES supporting study anytime and anywhere. 2. These strong statements of intent direct the University’s approach to widening participation in higher education and to the promotion of social mobility. The refreshed approach is described in this 2018-19 Access Agreement. As the new statement of strategic direction was approved after the 2017-18 Access Agreement was submitted, there have been certain changes of emphasis and balance between this Access Agreement and the previous one. 3. To ensure a coherent high quality experience for all students at each stage of their education, the University has established the Student Journey programme, described in more detail later. It spans the range from outreach and recruitment through transition to University, retention of those recruited, supporting academic success and the development of wider employability attributes leading to employment or further study. These stages fully align with the access, student success and progression dimensions of the OFFA guidance. 4. The University has established a wide network of partner institutions, including local sixth form and further education colleges and through those partnerships is able to provide flexible and diverse routes to higher education.

An assessment of the range of risks to the continuation of study for your students, how those risks may differ based on your students’ needs, characteristics and circumstances, and the likelihood that those risks will crystallise Staffordshire University is a modern, relevant and vocationally inspired institution, working with industry to support regional economic growth and provide opportunities for a diverse student body. We have built on our strong heritage and mission and, as “The Connected University”, we continue to deliver innovative and applied learning, develop talented people and connect our communities to opportunities that will support them to improve economically, societally and culturally. The University is organised into five Schools: o Staffordshire Business School (SBS) o Digital, Technologies and Arts (DTA) o Health and Social Care (HSC) o Law, Policing and Forensics (LPF) o Life Sciences and Education (LSE) The School subject combinations reflect employer needs for graduates with broader skills, knowledge and an agility. Underpinned by a connected curriculum approach, the University is working in partnership with students to be active, digital, global citizens. The University has a diverse student population with a percentage of local and regional students. We have a relatively small number of students from out-side of the UK and are therefore not over exposed to the withdrawal from the European union or changes in Home Office immigration regulations.

  • Entrepreneurial Intent on Induction to Undergraduate Business Courses: a Comparison of Two Higher Education Institutions in the UK
    Entrepreneurial Intent on Induction to Undergraduate Business Courses: A Comparison of Two Higher Education Institutions in the UK. Lead author: Dr Peter McLuskie Co-authors: Dr Charlotte Cary, Dr Kelly Smith, Dr Tom Williamson, Dr Susan Sisay Abstract Topic This study explores Entrepreneurial Intent (EI) in undergraduate students on induction across two UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) at the transition point between secondary and tertiary education levels. Aim The aim of this study is to explore patterns of self-reported EI in new undergraduate Business students from two UK HEIs. This study builds on previous research at Coventry University (Williamson and Wick 2013 and Smith et al 2017) in order to see if the high EI rates recorded at Coventry University are replicated across other institutions. It reports on the response of students from two UK HEI Business Schools (Coventry and Birmingham City University – BCU), entering undergraduate study in 2018. The study will compare data collected during induction week, before any formal teaching has commenced. Findings The study confirms findings from previous studies and demonstrates that students from both institutions recorded higher than normal levels of EI. However, there were several differences between the student responses from the two institutions and these are discussed later in the paper. Contribution This study explores the EI of students during the university induction period in the moment prior to starting their formal HE studies. This period of undergraduate study has been relatively ignored in the wider field of EI and can help shed light on the shifting aspirations of students as they progress through HEI.

  • West Midlands
    West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges. There are an additional 41 further education colleges with students taking higher education courses. All nine Staffordshire FECs offering HE courses have joined a funding consortium of 12 institutions led by Staffordshire University. The higher education student population is over 127,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students.
