SONAC commissioned RAND Europe to refine their working definition of strategic advantage. The team, which also drew in leading UK academics, used a multimethod research approach involving the development of case studies and expert workshops. The study explored the types of advantage held by different actors, the ways in which these can been gained and/or lost, and the ways in which actors seek to maintain and exploit their advantages in practice.
This study aimed to understand differences between climate risk approaches and identify possible improvements, to help climate risk practitioners determine appropriate approaches, and to support society in assessing its management of climate risk.
Predictive genetic testing provides individuals with information about their future risk of developing health conditions. Determining whether a genetic test could affect the insurance industry is complex and needs to be evaluated on a per-test basis.

RAND was commissioned by the UK Space Agency to conduct a study exploring the variety of possible future uses of space out to 2050 and identifying potential 'game-changers' and the implications for the UK space sector. The research provided a description of how the way we use space will change, who the key space actors will be, and how well-placed the UK is to address these future trends in the space economy.
This report explored green jobs and skills development for people from disadvantaged groups in 10 European cities. The study identifies relevant occupations, sectors, training opportunities, and interventions to help support people into green jobs.
This research analysed evidence on the use of labelling schemes, codes of conduct and other self-regulatory mechanisms for the ethical and safe development of AI applications. Through a literature review, crowdsourcing and interviews, we highlight a set of common themes, notable divergences, and examine anticipated opportunities and challenges associated with developing and implementing these tools. We also outline key learnings for the future.
This study examines the opportunities for leveraging workforce diversity to enhance military effectiveness.

This study provides an initial look at the factors influencing the implementation of the Defence Space Strategy to 2030 as well as the unique attributes of the UK space enterprise—including its strengths and weaknesses. The study also includes a decision support tool designed to help decision makers navigate capability management choices along the 'own-collaborate-access' framework articulated in the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy.
This Perspective provides a brief overview of the core principles of the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS) published in March 2021, before reflecting in more detail on two aspects underpinning the Strategy's assumptions: research and development (R&D) and exports. It draws on a body of RAND research on the UK defence industrial base, R&D and technology and provides reflections on areas of emerging challenges for DSIS implementation.
The aim of this study was to determine how attitudes toward the return of genomic research results vary internationally.
