| Subject: Privately-funded science university plan Wed Jan 04, 2012 4:39 am | |
| A new type of privately-funded science and technology university is to be announced by the universities minister.
The graduate institution, intended to promote cutting edge science research, could be set up with international partners and funded by business, David Willetts will say on Wednesday.
It follows a similar initiative in New York, where leading universities were invited to set up a research campus.
"With ingenuity we can grow our research base," Mr Willetts will say.
In a speech on Wednesday morning, Mr Willetts will set out plans for an advanced science research centre, to be created against a background of increasing globalisation and international competition in higher education.
