Research, Development and Innovation

Background

We are interested in research associated with the management of technology and innovation and the development and adoption of new technology management tools such as, technology roadmapping. We are interested in emerging technology that might have transformative impact on our mission. This includes the 5 critical technologies identified by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology for example, Artificial Intelligence. We are also interested in research associated with the diffusion of innovation and improving the transfer of technology from outside the nuclear sector into the NDA group.
