October there will be less funding for many things, although the
Technology Strategy Board (TSB) will continue to deliver government
funded support for collaborative R&D linking industry and
academia. This is aimed at helping UK businesses to flourish
through innovation and, as reported in TR98, there is now a
Transport Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN). The Transport KTN with
the Marine Industries Strategic Framework published in March and
backed by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, could
provide the marine industry with a range of relevant support.
The EU R&D Framework Programme 7 (FP7) 2011 call opened on

Transport Research in Europe and has published a Strategic Research
Agenda, which is a primary reference source for the Commission in
assembling its work programme.
