9. JSaRC - what’s different?
• more than science and technology – COTS/services/other sectors/ commercial
• 50:50 Government/security sector (industry and academia) collaboration
(50:50 funded) (HMG £11m over 4 years)
• industry shaping - supporting SMEs, protecting IP, promoting consortia
• “A great place to learn” – for Government and industry secondees
• location - Cambridge
• “Speed dating” …. “Sandpit” ….. “Gearbox” …..“Marriage guidance”
The Centre will create a flexible capability where HMG and the security sector can work in partnership to respond to urgent and long term threats to UK security and can seize on opportunities and requirements to promote wider UK national security and diplomatic objectives overseas.
