CEH is wholly owned by….
CEH is a PSRE and the UK's Centre of Excellence for research in the land and freshwater environmental sciences
Public Sector Research Establishments• PSREs are outside of the University sector• Collectively represent a world-class resource for
UK Science ranging from:– Some near-commercial organisations– Others effectively part of a Government Department
• The research capacity they provide meets– Specialist research needs– Strategic importance which cannot be delivered by
market-place• Their sustainable performance is of strategic importance
to the UK
Sustainability• “Operating today in a way which does not inhibit
the organisation’s ability to do so tomorrow and• Managing key resources so as to at least
maintain the current capacity of the organisation, or the capacity needed in the future to respond to changing demands”
• An organisation must know the Full Economic Costs (FEC) of its activities
Science and Innovation Investment Framework – 2004-2014
Sustainability of the PSREs• Full Economic Costs approach to research• Raising sufficient income through core funds,
external research contracts, research grants• Enabling PSREs to maintain a necessary level
of infrastructure investments• A finance sustainable investment approach
