The United Kingdom Science Park Association has been supporting science park development since 1984, and now has around 80 science parks, technology parks and innovation-led incubators in membership. Our Members accommodate over 3000 companies who employ around 70,000 highly qualified staff, and turnover in the region of £5.5 bn pa. The Association organises three membership events each year and periodic annual conferences, and supports its membership by ensuring communication between parks is effective, as well as lobbying on behalf of our members and their tenant companies. UKSPA produces a range of information services, such as a monthly e-newsletter and a quarterly magazine.

Extraordinary advances in the life sciences have great potential to improve our quality of life through better medicines and a cleaner environment. Biochemical Engineering provides the foundations for translating such exciting new discoveries into products and processes for improved health and wealth creation. . . At UCL, we offer education for undergraduates, postgraduates and industry professionals in our top-ranked department. Staff are engaged in cutting-edge research, both within the Department and as part of a number of European and international collaborations. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise 75% of Academic Staff were rated as World Leading or Internationally Excellent.
We provide an informed entry point into the University for companies, and can help potential partners define their interests, find the appropriate academic expertise, and identify opportunities for collaboration. We support the development of relationships between academics and industry, whether these are major multi-faceted collaborations with global companies or simply finding experts for specific one-off projects.. . RSD can identify opportunities for collaboration between business and academics and negotiate research contracts in exciting interdisciplinary areas, such as computational biology, nanoscience, energy and the environment.. . We work closely with University Departments that offer licences for intellectual property, graduate recruitment and executive education.. . We also coordinate the Corporate Liaison Programme, which enables companies to work with the University of Cambridge.. . Our team of Partnership Development Managers helps companies to navigate the University and build mutually beneficial relationships.
