“If we do not take the opportunities that are there for us in science then we are not

going to have a successful modern economy”. Rt Hon

Tony Blair. The Prime Minister.

“For the UK to be seen as a global leader in innovation and

a magnet for technology-intensive companies, where new technology is applied rapidly and effectively to

create wealth [TSB Annual Report 2006]”.

“Turnover of £200 billion, more than 15% of GDP,

employs 1.5 million people directly and 4 million in supporting industries…”

The budget• The programme is

already running

• Think of the budget as 2/3 allocated

• Formulation is used to decide how to allocate the next 1/3

• Every year 1/3 becomes available again

What formulation is about

• Understand stakeholder needs

• Developing programme strategy to meet needs

• Proposing and prioritising projects that support the strategy

Formulation Timetable

• Consultation and strategy development On going

• First selection (SWG) (100+%) September 2007

• Final Decision (WG) (100%) January 2008

• New projects start April 2008

Strategy Development

• Start with stakeholder needs

• Use understanding of needs to develop existing roadmaps and frame “grand challenges”

• Devise the strategy to meet the grand challenge

The hopper

• Hopper contains new projects

• Hopper could contain all existing projects

• Hopper should contain more projects than can be funded

Thermal and Materials Metrology Programme 2008+

Budget

• Will not be known until April 2008 (probably about £7M)

• Closing down existing projects releases the funding and adds to budget for new work

Objectives for formulation up to April 2008

• Design and implement a rolling formulation process

• Formulate new projects that use all of the available budget

• Make progress on grand challenges

• Take up new grand challenges such as sustainability
