DESCRIPTION:Although the importance of the Bioscience sector to the Cambri
 dge economy is widely recognised there is very little up to-date research 
 that shows the size of the economic impact that it is making and how this 
 has been changing.  This is unfortunate because in these times of austerit
 y continued research funding cannot be taken for granted and the sector ha
 s to demonstrate in a robust manner its impact on the growth of Cambridge\
 , the wider region and the nation as a whole.\n\nTo identify the economic 
 impact of the Cambridge Bioscience sector is challenging and requires a ro
 bust conceptual framework that identifies the diverse and complex interact
 ions that exist between individuals\, companies\, universities and governm
 ent and which occur across different geographies.  The complexity suggests
  that it is best to begin by developing a broad conceptual framework and m
 odelling approach and undertake some baseline cross-sectional research. It
  is with this that this study has been concerned.\n\nThe research has cons
 idered\; a) the factors driving the growth of the bioscience cluster in Ca
 mbridge and how it may develop in the future\, b) the competitiveness of t
 he Cambridge Bioscience cluster relative to elsewhere and the factors that
  give it a competitive edge (the more unique the Cambridge offer the more 
 likely the economic benefits it produces contribute to national growth) an
 d c) the constraints on the growth and development of the cluster and the 
 actions that might help to overcome them. \n
