Project overview
International Research and Innovation (R&I) activities involve collaborations at national, organisational, and individual levels between the UK and other countries. An aim of the international R&I investment by the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is to enhance the UK’s global reputation and influence.
Reputation generated through international R&I amplifies the benefits by unlocking new opportunities and competitive advantages. Despite the critical importance of reputation building, there remains a substantial gap in understanding, capturing, and measuring how international R&I activities influence the UK&s reputation.
In light of this, Reputation Project aims to make an initial step to provide valuable insights into developing a conceptual framework on how international R&I activities and associated investments enhance the UKs reputation, and to outline methods
that can be adopted to effectively capture and measure the reputational impacts.
