Update on Implementing the Technology Strategy and Technology
Programme
The Technology Strategy and
Programme represents a significant development in government
policy.
The first call under the Technology Programme was made on 28th
January in the field of micro and nanotechnology,
previously announced as a technology priority.
The second call under the
Technology Programme will be announced on 26th April
2004 when we will be seeking applications in 7 other areas
highlighted as important in the Innovation Report. Visit Open Calls.
Over the next few months the
Technology Strategy Board will be recruited, and at their first
meeting will continue the process of developing the Technology
Strategy. Their early conclusions will shape the next call for
applications under the Technology Programme in October 2004.
The Technology
Strategy Board will refine the Strategy, with the results
shaping a further call for applications in April 2005. At this
time the Strategy will be published.
Beyond April 2005 we plan to
instigate a regular cycle of biannual calls (April and October) in
areas directed by the Technology Strategy.
