Successful transfer of pharmaceutical products and their processes is critical to the successful launch. Its success ensures that products of the highest quality are delivered to the patients along with meeting the business demands of the company. However execution of that transfer is complex involving the interactions of many disciplines across an organization. It depends both on the careful development, management, and transfer of technical and business knowledge along with the development of steps to define the formal transfer of that knowledge from R&D documents and systems to commercial manufacturing documents and systems.

FITT Toolbox: Technology Transfer Follow-up CommitteeFITT
The Technology transfer follow-up committee was set up for analysis of transfer actions in order to find the best transfer strategy. Projects such as start-up creation, industrial partnership, open source diffusion and others are examined by an advisory committee, which provides feedback and recommendations for the choice of strategy and allocation of resources. The composition and work of the committee have already proved to bring added value to the performance of the public research oganisation regarding technology transfer.

In our newly released Data Insights Report: Planning Applications, we revisited the wealth of environmental, land and property data that we gather, manage and supply to the property industry on a daily basis, and analysed relevant datasets to provide a summary of planning trends between 2012 and 2021. Overall, we saw that, year on year, the rate of planning applications in the UK is increasing. In fact, in every region – except for London – the number of planning applications submitted per 100,000 people was at its highest in 2021, since 2012.
As well as pinpointing the regions with the highest and lowest application volumes, the report draws on data that reveals:
Planning application types
Granted/refusal rates
Approval rates for renewable energy projects
Approval rates in flood zones
Essential amenities per approved planning application
The report also features expert commentary from Landmark’s Chris Loaring, Managing Director (Legal), who shares his observations on planning trends beyond ‘the Covid effect’ and highlights the growing implications of the journey to net zero in future planning policy. Piers Edgell, Landmark’s Client Director (Geodata) closes with a powerful argument for how planning data and the levelling up agenda are inextricably linked:
“… planning is about so much more than simply where developments will or will not be built. Every planning decision impacts the immediate environment, and so planning data could and should become a critical tool for informing and shaping social policies that aim to improve – or level up – communities. What, for example, could the kinds of planning data shown in this report tell us, when mapped against data on increasing property values or household incomes? What could the data we have summarised on amenities within the vicinity of planning applications tell us about location-specific standards of living and local needs?”.
Dr David Robinson presents the Local Asset Mapping Project of which he is the Principal Investigator. The project aims to map local healthcare services in order to meet the needs of an aging and less mobile population.
