Dear Ian
I would appreciate it if you would send out the following alert to your
NGN mailing list.
***************************************
BIS Capital Consultation- advance notice
As a Member of the EPSRC ICT Strategic Advisory Team I’d like to alert
members of our ICT research community to the fact that a BIS Capital
Consultation is going to be launched this month, probably with a March
deadline. This is to identify UK priorities in building a world-leading
science and research infrastructure for the 2020s, across the whole
landscape and is for £1.1 billion in 2015/2016 and to grow with
inflation to 2020/21.
Following advice from Dr Liam Blackwell at EPSRC, the earlier
consultation on this has provided some direction on the balance between
capital for projects, institutions, and national facilities (including
international collaborations). This is now moving into a phase of
securing input on choices for a more detailed plan for capital investment.
Once we got more detail on the timescales, EPSRC will be drawing this to
the attention of departments in the ICT landscape, but in the meantime
it would be helpful if you would use your networks to alert people to
this forthcoming consultation. It would be also useful if you could
reflect on the weighting this gives to areas which can plan out large
scale capital investments, just because of the way the approach is
structured.
More later.
Thanks
Gerard
