Call to formalise collaboration among Welsh universities

Universities Wales report highlights benefits of this ‘low-cost response’ to strapped budgets and Covid fallout

A new report by Universities Wales has called for better collaboration between Welsh universities as they experience increasing financial pressure and uncertainty.

The more-formalised collaboration could be a “relatively low-cost response” to a “worrying” threat that is facing Welsh universities, according to the report’s author, Graeme Reid, a chair of science and research policy at University College London.
