Our new report, Future Ready, shows how universities are playing a key role in Industrial Strategy missions like economic resilience, clean energy and healthcare. Putting universities at the centre of the Industrial Strategy will harness the strength of our sector to transform our economy and public services. With that in mind, we are delighted to announce a new Russell Group expert advisory panel to develop detailed proposals on how to maximise universities' impact. The panel will include former Secretary of State Greg Clark; Jennifer Tippin, Group Chief Operating Officer for NatWest Group; Lucy Yu, CEO of the Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy); Robert Scott, Vice President of Human Genetics and Genomics at GSK; and Arnab Basu MBE DL, Chief Executive of successful university spinout Kromek.

UK Research and Innovation has today announced a series of updates to training grants - including an 8% increase in the minimum stipend paid to UKRI students, and changes to terms and conditions to provide better support for students. Find out more about today's announcements 👇
Today we’re announcing an increase of 8% in the minimum stipend paid to UKRI students. We are also adjusting our training grant terms and conditions to provide better support for students and greater flexibility for research organisations. From 1 October 2025, the minimum stipend will increase to £20,780. The new level is our best endeavour to provide an amount at least equivalent to take-home income from the national living wage over the 2025-26 academic year, noting the rate of national living wage beyond March 2026 is not known. We have also published updates to the UKRI Standard Terms and Conditions of Training Grant which take effect from the start of the 2025-26 academic year. Updates include: • allowing students to take up to 28 weeks medical leave • making it easier for students who take medical or additional leave to get an extension to their studentship • removing barriers that might prevent disabled students from getting support • ensuring that students are treated in a way that is transparent and fair. In addition, 2025 will see a 4.6% increase in the minimum fee that research organisations can claim from a student grant, plus details of a new service for submitting studentship data to replace the Je-S system. Over the next year, significant changes are being made to the support available to UKRI funded students through our training grant funds and their management.
