This roundtable discussion with participants from across Lancaster and the North West’s diverse research and innovation community, including industry, academia and civic leaders, was convened to explore the distinctive role R&I can play in the North West to supporting prosperous communities. The strengths of Lancaster in R&I and the barriers to increasing research intensity were discussed.

CaSE are leading discussions across the UK to collect an evidence base on place-based R&I interventions and how different sectors collaborate to facilitate local economic growth. This follows on from the publication of CaSE’s report The Power of Place.
