- How well do the UK's leading academic institutions currently work together?
- The importance of strong collaboration in supporting the translation of innovation out of academic institutions - what difference can it make in real life terms?
- How well does the UK Government support academic institutions in the translation of innovation into industry, and how can this be improved?
- How well does industry support academic institutions to commercialise innovation - what can be done better?
