The UKRI Research Sustainability team commissioned know.consulting to assess the feasibility of developing a robust methodology to explore trends in the underlying costs of research, how these costs are changing over time, and the drivers behind observed trends.

know.consulting supported STFC (the Science and Technology Facilities Council, part of UK Research & Innovation) to develop the economic case for its proposed Skills Factory, which will provide early career and retraining opportunities to boost the UK’s technical skills base.
