Changing Patterns of Competition
![Page 4: HEPI Conference, December 2 nd 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d04550346895dba30c5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Changing Patterns of Competition
• Who competes?– Individual researchers – Disciplinary clusters– Higher education institutions– Nations
![Page 5: HEPI Conference, December 2 nd 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d04550346895dba30c5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What Are We Competing Over?
• Funding (Research Councils, RAE / REF, EU……)
• Research resources (PhD students, key labs…..)
• Impact (citations, innovation, transformation….)
• Prestige (RAE, League Tables, Prizes……)• Success (we just like winning!)
![Page 6: HEPI Conference, December 2 nd 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d04550346895dba30c5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How is the Competitive Landscape Changing?
• Increased pressures on available resources
• Changing expectations of funding agenciesTo be competitive, need overlapping geographies
• Higher education becoming more globalised
• Geography of global competition changing– Old competitors opening up (eg US)– New competitors emerging (eg China and
India)

Collaboration
![Page 8: HEPI Conference, December 2 nd 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d04550346895dba30c5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Drivers of Collaboration
• Individual– Gains from trade (pooling, access, citations…)– Funding agency priorities (multidisciplinary
research focus, geography….)• Disciplinary– Critical mass / survival (scale, depth….)– Delivery (access to essential inputs, adding value)
• Institutional– Market access (diversification, penetration…..)– Visibility (brand development, league tables….)
• National– Spillovers (learning by collaborating, innovation
and growth)– Prestige (league tables)

Geography of Collaboration
• Local• Regional• National• International– Diffusion of knowledge does not respect
boundaries
![Page 10: HEPI Conference, December 2 nd 2010](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d04550346895dba30c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Collaboration Will Increase
• ‘Grand Challenges’ are global (food security, energy technologies, public health…….)
• Growing linkage of research and innovation• Strategic partnerships with Research Councils• Falling trade costs• Globalisation of higher education• Increased business to business engagement• Globalisation of business to business
engagement• Income diversification

More Collaboration Will HelpDrive Success
• Individual (citations, impact, funding)• Disciplinary (competitiveness, critical
mass, spillovers)• Institutional (competitiveness,
leverage, survival)• National (knowledge based economy,
inovation, competitiveness)
