answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) launched an open call for Expressions of Interest to identify challenges to be supported within wave 3 of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) on 28 February 2018. Funding for wave 3 challenges will start in financial year 2019/20. The EOI process will enable industry to fully engage with the ISCF, including those businesses or sectors that do not traditionally make use of innovation funding.</p><p> </p><p>Expressions of interest for challenges for wave 3 of the ISCF programme must be industry-led and demonstrate clear alignment with at least one of the Grand Challenges of the Industrial Strategy White Paper: Clean Growth; Ageing Society; Future of Mobility; and Artificial Intelligence and Data Economy. Challenges for wave 3 will be evaluated by UKRI based on the following criteria. Challenges must:</p><ul><li>be compelling, focused, understandable and have a real benefit if solved</li><li>be industry-led and in an area of existing strength</li><li>take advantage of the depth and expertise of UK research</li><li>offer a clear opportunity for sustainable growth, including global markets</li><li>evidence that government support is necessary and of strategic importance</li><li>increase productivity</li></ul><p>As with previous challenges, expert input will be sought in choosing which challenges will be funded through the ISCF. This includes the UKRI Board, Innovate UK and Research Councils, and a series of deep dive sessions with industry and academia across the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 13/03/2018 16:28:21 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) projects will bring together world-class UK research with business investment to develop the technologies and industries of the future and ensure we capture the value of these innovations to our economy. Delivered by UKRI, it takes a strategic approach to delivering the challenges across the UK’s science and business base.</p><p> </p><p>Pivotal to the ISCF is an appetite to take risk and pursue high return opportunities, as has been successfully adopted in other schemes, such as America’s DARPA challenges. This means not all ISCF projects may succeed because of technological and market uncertainties. It will be important that there is a broad risk appetite to explore promising ideas across the portfolio of challenges as well as within elements of each specific challenge. The ISCF will place the responsibility for delivering a challenge in the hands of a ‘Challenge Director’, who will be leading a expert in the area. Challenge Directors will assemble a portfolio of projects that span the risk spectrum. Rigorous assessment, encompassing investment appraisal, on-going monitoring and ex-post evaluation will inform investment decisions. Through governance and monitoring arrangements, we will ensure that failures are detected early, review progress and maximise value for money.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 13/03/2018 16:29:20 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

uin	HL6015
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>The Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) funds innovative science and research that will increase productivity, tackle long-term challenges and drive growth across the country in areas where the UK is most competitive or has the most potential to be competitive. It identifies challenges that if solved would turn the UK’s scientific and business expertise into leadership in international markets. Each of these challenges will bring together Innovate UK and Research Councils to support collaborations of business with research, and so funding will benefit both. The exact balance will require tailored financial arrangement suited to the nature of the challenges.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 13/03/2018 16:25:57 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
