To succeed in today's highly competitive markets the UK needs to focus on using the ideas and technologies produced by the country's strong science base to create both innovative products and associated services. The development of product-related services is particularly important in ensuring that a greater proportion of the value created remains within the UK. The growth of service provision is increasingly common amongst manufacturers of complex engineering solutions, such as rail transport or power generation systems. Recent research in this area is creating valuable new knowledge to underpin this growth. However, there is a need to translate the research outputs into a form suitable for adoption by industry. University academics - under pressure to move on to new projects and develop their careers - are not well placed to perform this task. This programme aims to bridge this knowledge transfer gap, specifically in relation to engineering-based services. It will develop ways to turn the new knowledge created into practical tools and techniques which specialist teams of practitioners can apply in companies.The proposed activities fall into three parts:1. Identifying research outputs that can be developed into tools. These outputs may be the result of specific research programmes by individual universities or the amalgamation of outputs from different research areas and universities that can be combined to develop more powerful tools.2. The creation of the tools by a dedicated team of tool developers. The teams will be based both in the universities and with industrial partners.3. The piloting and refinement of tools with industrial partners and other companies. This will be performed by specialist tool developers, industrial partner representatives and consultants associated with the universities.

为了在当今竞争激烈的市场中取得成功，英国需要专注于利用该国强大的科学基础所产生的想法和技术来创造创新产品和相关服务。与产品相关的服务的发展对于确保创造的更大比例的价值留在英国尤为重要。服务供应的增长在复杂工程解决方案的制造商中越来越普遍，例如铁路运输或发电系统。最近在这一领域的研究正在创造有价值的新知识，以支持这一增长。然而，有必要将研究成果转化为适合工业界采用的形式。大学学者-在转向新项目和发展职业生涯的压力下-不适合执行这项任务。该计划旨在弥合这一知识转移差距，特别是在工程服务方面。它将研究如何将创造的新知识转化为实用的工具和技术，供专业从业人员团队在公司中应用。确定可以发展成工具的研究成果。这些产出可能是个别大学的具体研究方案的结果，也可能是不同研究领域和大学的产出的合并，可以合并起来开发更强大的工具。由专门的工具开发团队创建工具。这些小组将设在大学和工业合作伙伴。与工业合作伙伴和其他公司一起对工具进行试验和改进。这将由专业工具开发人员，工业合作伙伴代表和与大学相关的顾问进行。
