UKCRIC is based around (i) a linked network of physical test facilities, integrated with (ii) a series of "living city" observatories, through which the functioning of cities and infrastructure and how people actually use them will be monitored, analysed and assessed; and (iii) a distributed capability for infrastructure data, visualisation, modelling and simulation.UKCRIC does not have a single geographical home. Each academic partner leads a theme and contributes to others, giving a strong collaborative network with multiple centres and connections between them. This spreads the benefits geographically and into teaching programmes throughout UK HE. It does however mean that a strong, sustainable, collaborative leadership/ management/ coordination function, distributed but centrally directed and able to represent the UKCRIC community as a whole, is needed to realise the full potential benefits.This proposal is to fund coordination and leadership of UKCRIC as a whole, and its multidisciplinary research programme, through a Coordination Node (CN).The aim is to provide coherent and globally-respected leadership of UKCRIC in*setting the transdisciplinary research agenda*delivering collaborative, multidisciplinary moving towards transdisciplinary research while ensuring that facilities are used widely, fully and effectively*ensuring the results of research are implemented for the benefit of society, the environment and the UK economy.The objectives are to*establish and maintain governance and operational structures and protocols, including criteria for engagement, collaboration, use of facilities, and expansion of initial membership*engage stakeholders to develop an holistic, multi-disciplinary vision and research strategy, with key emphases on society, sustainability, resilience and global opportunity*foster trans-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder working, learning and knowledge sharing across UKCRIC's research portfolio, while ensuring wide, full and effective use of facilities*identify and exploit opportunities and pathways for impact, mechanisms for innovation and advocacy for influencing policy*develop the next generation of research leaders, address the skills demands of the infrastructure sector and coordinate doctoral and other high-level training*progress a business model for sustaining the CN after the proposed funding expires.Benefits: UKCRIC will address near term issues such as optimising investment and use of infrastructure. In the longer term, it will develop new materials, techniques and technologies. At the highest level, it will understand how to make the system of systems that constitutes a nation's infrastructure more resilient to extreme events and more adaptable to changing circumstances and contexts, and how it can provide services that are more affordable, accessible and useable to the whole population. It will also develop new transdisciplinary areas of activity that set research and policy agenda in the infrastructure arena.The CN will add value through being transformative in viewing and exploiting emerging findings through an integrated infrastructure/ urban systems lens, engaging directly with a range of stakeholders including industry, city leaders and other end users. Research will be shaped by a range of considerations and voices, to give a multi-faceted understanding of future infrastructure systems demand, and how this might be shaped by societal and financial interventions. It will consider how, where and when technological, engineering and process advances can be exploited to best effect across the infrastructure and urban systems landscape, while allowing for the development of potential disruptors and changes in philosophy, eg from "predict and provide" to "decide and create".Added value will also be achieved through coordinating a large set of research activities, drawing on existing work, to promote and deliver overarching cross-disciplinary goals.

UKCRIC 的基础是 (i) 物理测试设施的互联网络，并与 (ii) 一系列“活力城市”观测站相结合，通过这些观测站，城市和基础设施的运作以及人们实际使用它们的方式将得到监测、分析和评估； (iii) 基础设施数据、可视化、建模和模拟的分布式能力。UKCRIC 没有单一的地理归属地。每个学术合作伙伴都主导一个主题并为其他主题做出贡献，从而形成一个具有多个中心及其之间联系的强大协作网络。这将优势传播到整个英国高等教育的地理和教学项目中。然而，这确实意味着需要一个强大的、可持续的、协作性的领导/管理/协调职能，分散但集中指导，并且能够代表整个 UKCRIC 社区，以实现全部潜在利益。该提案旨在通过协调节点（CN）资助 UKCRIC 的整体协调和领导及其多学科研究计划。其目的是在*环境中为 UKCRIC 提供连贯且受全球尊重的领导力。 跨学科研究议程*实现跨学科研究的协作、多学科发展，同时确保设施得到广泛、充分和有效的使用*确保研究成果得到实施，造福社会、环境和英国经济。目标是*建立和维护治理和运营结构和协议，包括参与、合作、设施使用和扩大初始成员的标准*让利益相关者参与 制定全面、多学科的愿景和研究战略，重点关注社会、可持续性、复原力和全球机会*在 UKCRIC 的研究组合中促进跨学科、多利益相关者的工作、学习和知识共享，同时确保广泛、充分和有效地利用设施*识别和利用影响政策的机会和途径、创新机制和宣传影响政策*培养下一代研究领导者，解决 基础设施部门的技能需求，并协调博士和其他高级培训*进展在拟议资金到期后维持 CN 的商业模式。好处：UKCRIC 将解决近期问题，例如优化基础设施的投资和使用。从长远来看，它将开发新材料、新工艺和新技术。在最高层面上，它将了解如何使构成国家基础设施的系统对极端事件更有弹性，更能适应不断变化的环境和背景，以及如何为全体人民提供更负担得起、更容易获得和使用的服务。它还将开发新的跨学科活动领域，在基础设施领域制定研究和政策议程。CN 将通过综合基础设施/城市系统视角观察和利用新兴发现进行变革，直接与包括行业、城市领导者和其他最终用户在内的一系列利益相关者接触，从而增加价值。研究将受到一系列考虑因素和声音的影响，以便对未来基础设施系统的需求以及社会和金融干预措施如何影响这一需求提供多方面的理解。它将考虑如何、在何处、何时利用技术、工程和流程的进步，在基础设施和城市系统景观中发挥最佳效果，同时允许潜在颠覆者的发展和理念的变化，例如从“预测和提供”到“决定和创造”。还将通过协调大量研究活动，利用现有工作，促进和实现总体跨学科目标来实现附加值。
