Innovative research in support of more informed decision making

Abstract

Information and communication technologies are becoming more important to efficiency and growth in an increasing number of industrial and public service activities. Massive science and engineering research and development programmes—such as the Alvey Programme in the UK—have been established in many countries and by the EEC, with the objective of pioneering new technological advances in the field. The UK has frequently made impressive scientific and technological contributions to this. Yet the UK has not reaped the full benefits of this inventiveness.
