We're proud to support the 'Invest in UK University R&D – Midlands Campaign' launched by Midlands Innovation and Midlands Engine Partnership, hosted at Loughborough University. The launch was announced yesterday, alongside an award of £1.5 million from the UK’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), by Andrew Griffith MP, Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation. Professor Christopher Smith, our Executive Chair and UKRI International Champion, shares his thoughts on what this means for the Midlands, inspiring research and innovation within arts and humanities: “This campaign and the accompanying University Investment Prospectuses – the first of their kind in the UK – brilliantly showcase the outstanding opportunity for international business and investors to come to the Midlands. There they will immediately benefit from access to the eco-system of innovation, collaboration and world-class facilities, talent and technology that emanate from our great universities. I am particularly pleased to see the focus on the creative industries, which will deliver opportunities to invest in UK university R&D to markets across the world, and bring benefit back to the UK, including here in the Midlands.” Read more below ⬇
Today at UKREiiF a coalition co-led by Midlands Innovation and Midlands Engine have launched a £3m campaign to attract global R&D investment in the region. The campaign will leverage collective global connections to drive economic growth across the #Midlands.

Satellite navigation systems aboard aircrafts have seen an increase in hacking in recent months ✈️ Highly resilient quantum navigation technology could be key to ensuring flights are able to takeoff without disruption. Infleqtion UK, who have received government and UK Research and Innovation support of nearly £8m led the project, alongside BAE Systems Air and QinetiQ, and partners from across the UK. The success of the tests will help fulfil the UK’s commitment of making the country a quantum-enabled economy. See the first UK trials take place on an in flight aircraft 👇

Digital Catapult NETV ¦ Visiting Professor, National Innovation Centre for Data ¦ Honorary Fellow at SKOPE Research Centre
Thank you to UK Research and Innovation for the opportunity to speak about the various career transitions I have taken to get to the role that I currently hold in helping to grow the NE tech ecosystem; a role that has me pulling on knowledge and experiences from the diverse switches I have had the opportunity to make! Talking about your life and career choices is uncomfortable at the best of times, and on film even more so, but seeing my little girl's face at seeing 'mama on TV' makes it all the worth it. Also it's really exciting to show people a small snapshot of what the amazing facilities and work we are doing to build the tech ecosystem in the North East! Come visit us at at our Advanced Media Production Studio at PROTO , operated by Digital Catapult and Target3D Ltd | The Mechanics Behind Creativity; a space where companies can experiment with new virtual production technologies and receive support from us to adopt those advanced technologies. A few things I've learned from my career so far that didn't make the cut: 💡 You never know where your next career move/ project/ idea will come from. Talk to people, listen to stories, be curious... Not only is it fun, but you never know what 'next big thing' might pop up next by connecting the various dots you build. 💡 People make changes in their career for all sorts of reasons, and it usually involves a combination of factors such as family, opportunity, hard work, and sometimes just being in the right place at the right time! 💡 Empathy is key. Spending time with a colleague or a team member to understand who they are, what drives them, and what is challenging for them and then finding ways to support them (formal or informal) is more valuable that anyone can realise. 💡 Always serve your argument with your front foot, and that it's incredibly important to be intellectually generous - collaboration is the only way we are going to solve those grand challenges!
What does switching sectors actually look like? Meet Ashmita Randhawa, DPhil. She left India to study biomechanical engineering in the United States, moved to Brussels to work on consumer products at Proctor and Gamble, then gained an interest in skills development that she decided to pursue at Oxford University. She now acts as a bridge between academia and university in her role as director of research and development and lead for Digital Catapult North East Tees Valley at Sunderland Software City. In our 101 Jobs: Switching Sectors series, we're sharing stories from across the research system of people who haven't followed a linear career path.
