In January 2025 Royce will launch an important National Materials Innovation Strategy, on behalf of the materials innovation community.
To achieve this, it has drawn on the UK’s research community through a broad, 18 month consultation process as well as having support from government, including the Departments for Science, Innovation and Technology, Business and Trade, and Energy Security and Net Zero.
To support the launch, we are looking to appoint a PR/Communications contractor to develop a communications plan that promotes the outputs of the Strategy.
The focus of this Strategy is innovation and technology translation against national need: while material’s research and innovation is an acknowledged UK strength, we recognise the need to be much better at linking the science to commercial reality.
The aim of the Strategy is to identify opportunities and stimulate measures, which close this gap and ensure that the UK is a front-runner in embedding advanced materials and materials innovation into our manufacturing sectors such as communications, transport, defence, digital, energy, building and health.
We have already launched an Interim Strategy and a brand new evidence base.
