This is a great article on a key part of the #NetZeroHeat programme at @innovateuk - getting real data on the variation in the condition of our housing stock. Watch this space for plenty more details... @IUK_Connect @NatRetrofitHub @guynewey @janrosenow – at Chester, England

On the home page of the BBC today is a story called "No, UK weather is not being manipulated". What is happening to this country?! What happened to critical thinking? We're in for a bumpy few years

UKRI Future Leader Fellowships Rd 9 competition closes in Jun 2024 but interview panels are not until May 2025, applicants notified June 2025! No wonder the scope of the competition requires projects to react to changing external environments!

Innovate does not receive enough funding - that's the underlying problem. But I can't help but feel different assessment approaches are needed - I know companies that consistently score 80, across multiple competitions, and are consistently unsuccessful
