A society that can be awe-struck by science, but never dumb-struck. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/pearson_SSConsultation_180708.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:30:00 GMT http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/pearson_SSConsultation_180708.html Innovation is just as important to transport, welfare and defence as it is to banking, manufacturing and retail http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/pearson_ideopolis_160708.html Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/pearson_ideopolis_160708.html Skills for Life – a name conceived in the Ronseal tradition, because it does exactly what it says – has radically improved the teaching of basic literacy, language and numeracy. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/lammy_skillsforlife_080708.html Wed, 09 July 2008 11:00:00 GMT http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/lammy_skillsforlife_080708.html The UK Government looks forward to working closely with the research base and with its European partners in developing a new vision and new impetus for a successful European Research Area. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/pearson_nesta_030708.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:30:00 GMT http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080726235715/http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/pearson_nesta_030708.html Research and Development is important but it is not the whole story - our interest in innovation and its exploitation goes much wider than that.
