INTERACT
)
InterAct is a £4.4 million, Made Smarter Innovation funded, Economic and Social Research Council-led network that aims to bring together economic and social scientists, UK manufacturers, policymakers, and digital technology providers to address the human issues resulting from the diffusion of new technologies in industry.
Working alongside other partners within the wider Made Smarter Innovation programme, InterAct aims to build a strong, vibrant, interdisciplinary community where funding can be effectively distributed to researchers who will generate actionable economic and social science insights for the benefit of UK businesses.
In a world faced with the looming threat of climate change, the InterAct Network will also support UK manufacturing’s efforts to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
Whilst technology is important, there are many social and economic factors that will be hugely influential in achieving these aims. The InterAct Network has two primary roles:
- To facilitate greater engagement, meaningful collaboration and joint innovation bewteen academia, manufacturing and digital technology providers.
- Provide a repository of useful information, insights and tools for businesses to assist them in easing and de-risking the human factors in the transition to a more digitally enabled manufacturing future.
