As one of CLAIR\u2019s network of overseas offices, the JLGC London Research Team is responsible for a programme of activities aimed at providing benefit and impact for our member cities and regions in Japan. Over 2014\/15 our staff were engaged in active workstreams supporting the office\u2019s work in undertaking and commissioning policy research, as well as providing consultancy across a number of study visits to the UK and Northern Europe.<\/p>\n
During 2014\/15 our research priorities (\u2018CLAIR Reports\u2019) were business cluster promotion in Germany (in partnership with Potsdam University), economic development in London (UCL) and EU rural development programmes. We also undertake regular public affairs analysis and media advisory on behalf of a range of partners in Japan and the UK. Below is a report of the team\u2019s work and outputs across 2014\/15.<\/p>\n
