Who we work with: Innovate UK
UKRI brings together the seven disciplinary research councils, Research England, which is responsible for supporting research and knowledge exchange at higher education institutions in England, and the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK.
UKRI’s nine councils work together in innovative ways to deliver an ambitious agenda, drawing on their great depth and breadth of expertise and the enormous diversity of their portfolio.
Through their councils they maintain and champion the creativity and vibrancy of disciplines and sector-specific priorities and communities. The councils shape and deliver both sectoral and domain-specific support.
Whether through research council grants, quality-related block grants from Research England, or grants and wider support for innovative businesses from Innovate UK, UKRI work with stakeholders to understand the opportunities and requirements of all the different parts of the research and innovation landscape, maintaining the health, breadth and depth of the system.
