Are we alone? No.
Other education sectors are hit as well. Probably equally nonsensical.
Do we even dare to mention #HealthCare? Or #SocialCare?

Another example is the contribution of the arts to society and the economy, which are summarised nicely here:

And I think my favourite disturbing quote from the THE piece is
"Labour is “more interested” in how universities can help these specific missions, like supporting defence" (Andy Westwood)

#HEI #Funding #AppliedResearch

How about going after research funding instead? Or especially?
(e.g., UKRI budget for 2025-26 at about £8.8bn: https://www.ukri.org/publications/ukri-budget-allocation-explainers/ )

Well, to me it is difficult to imagine a more obvious way to counteract any narrative around growth & innovation.

And this not only at universities / #HEI. Research funding supports industry as well (often in particular #SME), either directly or through strong encouragement to have cross-sector projects.

@pokateo I'm a senior scientist at the #AIT, developing #SpatialDataScience solutions using #OpenSource tools

I'm the lead developer of @movingpandas, serve on the PSC of @qgis, and try to keep an eye on #MobilityDB & #MEOS developments

I love exploring new ways to work with spatial data. Recently started dabbling with #GraphDatabases
