10. PURPOSE

Please summarise the purpose of the project here. Explain how it will deliver the aims of the Priority and Measure. Full details should be included in the Project Plan. This project would realise an Institute of Life Science in Swansea. The project is a partnership between, Swansea University, WDA and the Swansea NHS Trust. The funds applied for would allow the building of a new institute, together with physical and human resources for its operation.

For the size of the university, Swansea has exceptionally strong physical sciences and engineering both in scale and quality. This dates back to the era of heavy industry in the region but the science has not stood still. Four areas of science and engineering were rated at the highest levels (5 and 5*) in the last UK Research Assessment Exercise. Such classification indicates staff engaged in innovative world-class research. This is the second strongest SET (Science Engineering and Technology) research university that Wales has. Indeed in terms of the value of current research awards from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Science Research Council) Swansea is number one in Wales.

3 Form 1 W(2003/7)

15 February 05

The Swansea SET research base is now being extended into the life sciences, led by the new Clinical School established by the Welsh Assembly Government. This will include major research reorganisation in the Biological Sciences and Chemistry at Swansea. The Clinical school will accept its first students in September 2004. The support of the WAG has permitted sufficient funds to allow the school to attract world-class researchers and clinicians. Already there are 19 professors in post all with international research reputations. The Welsh Assembly Government has made it clear that this new Clinical School is not just about increasing the number of doctors and improving health care in Wales, it is also about using the research to stimulate the economy of the region. In addition the Clinical School has very positive research links to the College of Medicine in Cardiff, exemplified by a successful, recent joint bid to the prestigious UK Biobank project.

The vision is to use this exceptional SET research base at Swansea to create a 'Cambridge style' effect in South West Wales. Through the Technium project and other initiatives work has already started on driving towards this vision. The Institute of Life Science adds further momentum to an economy truly in transition.

The Institute of Life Science (ILS) has the following aims:

1. to co-locate a number of life-science related research centres of excellence in the one high-quality environment,

2. to establish a business support structure with the goal of ensuring that the project delivers maximum benefits to the knowledge in the region and Wales as a whole,

3. to construct an 'incubator' for micro-companies within the Institute and establish a seamless link between that incubator and the wider Technium network,

4. to ensure that the project becomes self-sustaining within a three year period and establish the appropriate special purpose vehicle to deliver that sustainability while protecting the mission.

The Programme details the aims and objectives for Priority 2 which is entitled DEVELOPING INNOVATION AND THE KNOWLEDGE BASED ECONOMY. The aim of the priority is to improve competitiveness through the acquisition and use of knowledge and new technologies. The ILS fully supports this aim. The complement goes on to define six broad objectives for the priority,

~ to create a culture of innovation. ~ Diversity the economic base by growing more technology and knowledge

driven frims and improving their links to the knowledge base. ~ Increase investment in R&D. ~ Develop more high-level skills to support innovation and R&D. ~ Stimulate increased demand for, and adoption of ICTs ~ Improve environmental performance through the adoption and use of clean

technologies.

The ILS strongly underpins all six of the broad objectives.

The Priority 2 Measure 3 Regional Partnership Legacy Report produced at the end of 2003 made a number of key observations regarding the future needs of the measure. The aims of the ILS resonate with many of those observations. Examples of this s neii are as follows: ·

4 Form 1W(2003/7)

15 February 05

1. The Legacy Report sets a general priority of supporting projects that deliver the targets of new company setup and new jobs created. The ILS has this strategy at the very core of its vision. The life science sector is the most fruitful source of new company formation and new job creation.

2. The Legacy Report states that priority will be given to a project, which develops a long-term R&D capacity in the region. The fundamental aim of ILS to achieve exactly this. If it is successful in its aims, the ILS will build upon the now excellent R&D capability of the Swansea University in the life science area. The new Clinical School has attracted a large number of world class researchers to the area. This new resource coupled with the skills already present will establish a very powerful engine for regeneration in the life science area. The aim is to create a momentum that will develop long term R&D capacity in Swansea and the region.

3. The Legacy Report states that priority should be based on projects that embed a culture of innovation within the knowledge base of the economy particularly focused upon a clear target group. The ILS will be established to support the growth of the life science sector in our region. A key objective will be to establish an infrastructure that supports existing businesses within that sector leading to enhanced profitability and job creation.

11. DIRECT LINKS WITH OTHER EC STRUCTURAL FUND PROJECTS OR PROJECTS FUNDED FROM OTHER PUBLIC SECTOR SOURCES

Please record any such links here.

The project has been developed in close collaboration with the WDA, City and County of Swansea, Swansea NHS Trust, Technium and private sector organisations, large and small.

15. ICT

All grant-aided projects should make a positive contribution to ICT. Outline how ICT opportunities have been integrated into the project design and implementation, mentioning any specific components that show this.

The project is intended to allow both Institute of Life Science tenants and associate companies exposure to ICT tools that would not be available under normal circumstances. Business benefits of use of the tools will be a key factor in measuring the success of the project. A fundamental output of the project will be increasing the competitiveness of businesses engaged in the project. Increased use of up to date ICT is seen as a unique opportunity for Welsh businesses to achieve global competitiveness. Traditional issues related to peripherality, geography etc are overcome by the project due to the procurement of the Technium VPN which gives consistent telecomm provision to all Technium sites. It is the intention of the project to involve a diverse range of service providers. This should include business tools, professional services, public services etc. The aim being to demonstrate the benefits that ICT can bring to the user.

It is also emphasised that Swansea University has a world-class computing science department (rated 5 in the last Research Assessment Exercise). It has particular strengths in visualisation, an important area for life science R&D. The University's ICT Strategic Plan is appended. However, the following seven points are extracted from its Executive Summary.

1. The University will not achieve its key strategic aims in research, learning and teaching and in its Third Mission activities without a quality Information and Communications Technology infrastructure. The ICT Strategy Committee will ensure that an institution-wide approach is adopted for ICT provision and initiatives.

2. Research in all subject areas is now very dependent on ICT. In particular, maximising the potential of the 1 Gigabit capacity connection to Super JANET is essential for the University to further improve its research activity and status.

3. Making learning and teaching more ICT based will maintain excellence in this area, as student numbers increase and diversify. The popularity of the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment system shows the potential of ICT based learning. The current favourable student: PC ratio needs to be maintained, as does the recent improvement in ICT hardware in teaching rooms.

4. The University's ICT skills and infrastructure will increasingly underpin our Third Mission activities for the local economy and community, particularly in the context of the Technium initiative.

5. Our ICT infrastructure needs a level of investment which relates to its mission-critical importance to the University. Our central ICT expenditure should match that of comparative universities.

6. In view of the mission-critical role of ICT in the University, current information security and disaster recovery procedures need maintenance and expansion.

7. ICT provision and developments offer opportunities for using collaborative funds under the Reaching Higher review of Higher Education in Wales.

If your organisation has an ICT strategy please attach a copy.

15 February 05

16. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

All grant-aided projects should make a positive contribution to equality of opportunity for all. Outline how equal opportunities have been integrated into the project design and implementation, mentioning any specific components that show this.

Swansea University has an Equal Opportunities policy, which is appended to this application. This policy will prevail throughout the project and all partners and participating companies will be encouraged to adopt the principles therein. The project will provide employment opportunities in a highly paid and highly skilled sector. The project directly addresses the different needs of women, men, ethnic minorities, Welsh speakers and disabled people. Staff will be recruited and housed in the Institute of Life Science. All areas will have wheel chair access and lifts available to all floors. Applicants from women, men, and ethnic minorities will be evaluated against pre-determined criteria.

If your organisation has an Equality Strategy please attach a copy.
