正文(英文) | New international collaborations to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment, prepare for health risks posed by climate change and ensure healthy soils for food security are part of world-leading international research announced today. The three NERC-led projects are among 14 research collaborations supported by the £79 million Fund for International Collaboration (FIC) delivered by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). The fund aims to enhance the UK's excellence in research and innovation through global engagement, forging new bilateral and multilateral research and innovation programmes with global partners. Advanced crop breeding, tackling infectious disease, and clean energy technologies, are among the areas for which the UK will partner with world-leading collaborators to push boundaries and meet 21st century challenges. The FIC projects were announced by Science & Universities Minister Chris Skidmore, who said:
UKRI Chief Executive Professor Sir Mark Walport said:
The FIC has been announced alongside a £200 million investment in 12 UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund Hubs, which will work with governments, international agencies and non-governmental organisations on the ground in developing countries and around the globe, to address some of the most complex development challenges. Further FIC projects will be announced in due course. The NERC-led FIC projects are:

NERC is the UK's main agency for funding and managing research, training and knowledge exchange in the environmental sciences. Our work covers the full range of atmospheric, Earth, biological, terrestrial and aquatic science, from the deep oceans to the upper atmosphere and from the poles to the equator. We coordinate some of the world's most exciting research projects, tackling major environmental issues such as climate change, environmental influences on human health, the genetic make-up of life on Earth, and much more. NERC is part of UK Research & Innovation, a non-departmental public body funded by a grant-in-aid from the UK government. 2. UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is a new body which works in partnership with universities, research organisations, businesses, charities, and government to create the best possible environment for research and innovation to flourish. We aim to maximise the contribution of each of its component parts, working individually and collectively. We work with our many partners to benefit everyone through knowledge, talent and ideas. Operating across the whole of the UK with a combined budget of more than £7 billion, UKRI brings together the Arts & Humanities Research Council, the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council, the Economic & Social Research Council, the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council, Innovate UK, the Medical Research Council, NERC, Research England, and the Science & Technology Facilities Council. |
