Vice-chancellors have called for an expansion of schemes that support collaboration in R&D and knowledge exchange at universities.
In its submission to the government ahead of the 2013 Spending Round, the vice-chancellors’ group Universities UK has asked for increased support through the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund and the Higher Education Innovation Fund.

The submission says that in 2015-16, the government should build up the RPIF, which supports investment in higher education research facilities and partnerships between research organisations.
