【简介】
SPRU's mission is to deepen understanding of the place of science, technology and innovation in the global economy for the benefit of government, business and society.

Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) is one of the world leaders in policy research on science, technology and innovation (STI) and its wider economic, social and environmental implications. Their objectives are:

to advance understanding of the relationship between STI developments and society through pioneering multidisciplinary research
to generate new empirical data, methods, concepts and theories which explain the role of STI in the economies of the world
to deliver postgraduate training which provides the analytical and practical skills needed to understand and respond to the STI challenges of the future
to advise those concerned with the development and implementation of science and technology policy and those seeking to manage science and technology in society
to work with firms, policy-makers and civil society to develop the tools and techniques needed to manage STI for purposes of competitiveness, sustainable development and social well-being

Research
SPRU has a team of 40 researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds in the social and natural sciences and engineering. SPRU's research is organised around three principal themes which often cut across sectors and geographical boundaries:

Firm and Industry Innovation in New Technologies
Systems of Scientific and Technological Innovation in a Globalising World
Markets, Governance and Sustainability

SPRU research engages directly with issues that fall within the 'mainstream' of current science and technology policy research and studies of the management of technological innovation. Our work also provides a critique of the mainstream by generating new ideas, methodologies and insights into policy and innovation management processes and outcomes. Approximately two-thirds of SPRU's £3 million annual budget derives from grants and contracts from research councils, foundations, government, business and international bodies.
