讲座摘要:
    The seminar will describe a recent high level audit of Science and Innovation that we have carried out in the Cambridge region.  This region in the East of England is an amazing place. It is a region rich in science and innovation assets and awash with the finest scientific and technical talent – but our audit was designed to find out whether we could go even further, driving the exploitation of science and technology and capitalising on our research excellence for the benefit of the region and the country. We realise that we must continue to invest in our scientific and industrial research base, develop our local skills base and attract the very best minds and investment from around the globe. We therefore sought to determine, in the chosen four themes of Life Sciences, Agri-Tech, Advanced Materials & Manufacturing and Information and Computer Technology, what is the very best of our region and to present the findings to our Government and industry in a coherent and useful fashion, so that the true contribution that our science and innovation makes to the local and national economy is understood. We also aim to widen the economic benefit throughout our region, which is by no means uniformly affluent, so that the benefits of scientific innovation can improve the lives of all the region’s population.
