British Government Reverses Data Support
June 7, 2010
After dog-earing 30 million pounds of financial support at the beginning of the year for a proposed Web Science Institute at Southampton University which was to be headed up by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the British government announced plans to cut 6.2 billion pounds from the public sector budget, which unfortunately included the Institute project.
V3.co.uk reports in “Government scraps plans for Web Science Institute“ that the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills claimed the government recognizes internet technologies as an important area of research, but that support would come through research councils and the Technology Strategy Board, in supporting the creation of the Institute. Apparently the research and data is valuable, but not enough to pledge public financing for it.
