IRIA aims to build an evidence base useful for monitoring the effectiveness of UK international research collaboration, determining the value-for-money of international R&I interventions and comparing the UK with other countries. We support a wide range of programmes as well as building an evidence base that can be used for new interventions. This includes government plans to protect and support UK science, research, technology and innovation (SRTI) sectors, should association to Horizon Europe on fair and appropriate terms not be possible.
We are interested in assessing the value delivered from infrastructure which supports research and innovation, such as laboratories or institution headquarters. An example of this is the project to relocate the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) to the University of Readings’ campus.
We are interested in establishing how UK researchers and institutions work with overseas partners and in the R&I ecosystems of other countries. The corresponding section of this document from Science, Research & Innovation (section 3.9) covers how international talent is attracted to work in the UK and the impact of those researchers on the UK. There is further interest in other aspects of this including:

Lead research organisation: University of Cambridge
The project discusses strengthening interaction between NERC-funded science and the user community, which could partially address the question about monetizing impacts.
Imperial's approach is based on successful management of impact acceleration schemes from other Research Councils. By aligning the types of activities we currently support on behalf of other funders, and aligning our pro...
