Jan R. Boehnke<p>Are we alone? No.<br>Other education sectors are hit as well. Probably equally nonsensical.<br>Do we even dare to mention <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HealthCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCare</span></a>? Or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SocialCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialCare</span></a>?</p><p>Another example is the contribution of the arts to society and the economy, which are summarised nicely here:<br><a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10037/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">commonslibrary.parliament.uk/r</span><span class="invisible">esearch-briefings/cbp-10037/</span></a></p><p>And I think my favourite disturbing quote from the THE piece is<br>"Labour is “more interested” in how universities can help these specific missions, like supporting defence" (Andy Westwood)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HEI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Funding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppliedResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppliedResearch</span></a></p>
Jan R. Boehnke<p>How about going after research funding instead? Or especially?<br>(e.g., UKRI budget for 2025-26 at about £8.8bn: <a href="https://www.ukri.org/publications/ukri-budget-allocation-explainers/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ukri.org/publications/ukri-bud</span><span class="invisible">get-allocation-explainers/</span></a> )</p><p>Well, to me it is difficult to imagine a more obvious way to counteract any narrative around growth &amp; innovation.</p><p>And this not only at universities / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HEI</span></a>. Research funding supports industry as well (often in particular <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SME</span></a>), either directly or through strong encouragement to have cross-sector projects.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppliedResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppliedResearch</span></a></p>
