surely seize upon the obvious notion that for once in history public sector investments
are new sources of innovative development and generative growth, seeking ways of
mobilising enterprising coalitions to bid for infrastructure and ‘star’ scientist
recruitment from a variety of funding sources. Or, if this is insufficient, pressing their
multi-level governance structures for affirmative research allocation action such as
that already pioneered in the USA through EPSCOR.
