Does the UK need a new research funding agency? @CommonsSTC have published written submissions to their inquiry on govt plans to establish a 'UK ARPA'. Some key points from @AnnaHolliday and I (1/5) https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/9576/pdf/ …
Complementarity and strong links with existing programmes and organisations will be very important - particularly in crowded & well funded areas like low carbon energy. UK ARPA won’t be as effective if it operates in isolation from them (2/5)
Not clear whether UK ARPA should be established inside or outside @UKRI_News. This decision will have long-term consequences and risks, and should not only take into account potential short-term advantages (3/5)
Although £800m budget is significant, we suggest prioritising a few specific areas or societal challenges. This includes achieving net-zero emissions: a challenge that needs to be broken down into more specific priority missions (4/5)
Evidence from the US and UK suggests that new agency needs to have sufficient autonomy to take risks, underpinned by long-term funding. This will mean learning from innovation failures as well as supporting successes (5/5)
