In 2023 Royce is seeking to promote and support the development of a National Strategy for Advanced Materials Innovation.

This initial Tender will be for stage 1 which covers the initial 2 phases of a longer, and major piece of work to develop a comprehensive National Strategy for Advanced Materials Innovation with considered input from across the entire community and underpinned by a broad consultation process as well as support from government, including the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
