How can we improve coherence of UK wide data to be able to maximise learning from devolution, including the benefits of experimentation and innovation?

Background

We are keen to hear about cutting-edge approaches the research community is using which could have applications to our work. Particularly in ground-breaking evaluations, with robust focus on impact and value for money, what works and using more innovative techniques and data sharing
