''DIUS'', the '''Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills''' of the [[UK]] government, leads work across Government to ensure that it carries out the following tasks for [[England]]:

* Sustain and develop a world-class research base
* Maximise the exploitation of the research base to support innovation across all sectors of the economy
* Raise and widen participation in [[Higher Education]]
* Raise participation and attainment by young people and adults in post-16 education and learning
* Tackle the skills gap amongst adults, particularly equipping people with basic literacy and numeracy
* Increase the supply of people in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The DIUS web site is http://www.dius.gov.uk.

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills is one of three new government departments set up by the Prime Minister (of the [[UK]]) on 28 June 2007; the others are the Department for Children, Schools and Families ([[DCSF]]) and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (DBERR).

One of the oddities of the [[UK]] is that there is a UK government and devolved Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments but no English government.
