Lambert Review of Business-University Collaboration (Department for Education and Skills (DfES), December 2003)

There is one explicit reference to languages in the entire report, which makes a long list of recommendations about collaboration to retain and develop international competitive edge in particular in the aerospace and pharmaceutical sectors.

Language skills feature as a useful element in securing international competitive advantage, in a case study of university / small business collaboration in the field of medical research and development (page113).

The report led to the government’s 10-year investment framework in science and innovation in Higher Education.
