  • Cambridge - will build on the achievements of the Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI) to develop new courses for engineering and biology, evaluate the impact of the teaching of these subjects and deliverer training courses for industry managers working with universities and for mid career women.
  • Manchester - will work with University of Washington and other partners on the development of materials for aircraft construction.
  • SETsquared (a consortia of the universities of Bath, Bristol, Southampton and Surrey) will work with the University of California to help businesses in the South West to access international markets and venture capital and to promote University-industry collaborations on research.
