Researchers will benefit from new international partnerships with 15 countries as part of the AIR Centre, thanks to a new agreement signed today. Science Minister Chris Skidmore has signed an agreement in Parliament with Portuguese Science Minister Manuel Heitor that will make the UK a full member of the AIR Centre. The Centre was set up in 2017 and aims to strengthen scientific collaboration with researchers from around the world working on shared challenges and opportunities, from cutting carbon emissions to understanding space. It is designed to foster economic development through Atlantic region collaborations on space, climate and oceans issues. UK Science and Innovation Minister Chris Skidmore said:
Portuguese Science Minister Manual Heitor said:
A Memorandum of Understanding between the UK and Portuguese Space Agencies to collaborate on future space science and developing space industry opportunities was also signed. UK/Portugal collaboration in space is growing. Thanks to Britain’s business environment, academic excellence, modern regulation and support from the UK Space Agency, pioneering space businesses are locating to the UK. The UK Space Agency is working with Portuguese space business Omnidea to bring the development and testing of their innovative Plasma Focus Thruster to the UK. With an expected improved overall performance of up to 30% over existing thruster technology, the equipment could revolutionise spacecraft propulsion, whilst bringing new expertise, jobs and growth to the UK space sector. This follows a speech made by the Science Minister Chris Skidmore earlier this week on the UK’s space industry at the Policy Exchange, where he also announced a new agreement between the UK Space Agency and NASA. International science collaboration is a priority for the UK government, as it aims to raise investment in research and development to 2.4% of GDP by 2027. In May, the government published the International Research and Innovation Strategy and has committed to guarantee EU research funding through the Horizon 2020 programme in the event of a no deal Brexit.
