China is set to overtake the US to become both the world’s biggest spender on research and development and the UK’s most significant research partner, raising pressing questions for policymakers at a time of rising geopolitical tensions.

A new report from the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government (M-RCBG) at Harvard Kennedy School, the Policy Institute at King’s College London, and Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate, led by former Universities Minister Jo Johnson, examines the extensive relationship with China and calls for a more coherent strategy of measuring, monitoring and mitigating risks.

Join our panel to hear how the UK can address this key policy and political challenge.

Speakers

  • Jo Johnson, King’s College London
  • Jonathan Grant, King’s College London
  • Janet Ilieva, Education Insight
