The next stage will involve appointing the governing board between, now and June 2008, and establishing two or three "knowledge and innovation communities (KICs)" - highly integrated public-private networks of universities, research organisations and business. The board members will be officially named this June, but it is likely to take some 18 months before the first KICs are chosen.
