Delivering the maximum scientific, economic and international benefit to UK Science

Research and development in science has the power to meet the global challenges we face such as food security, climate change and renewable energy. It is vital for the UK’s future prosperity that innovation in these areas is capitalised on. Science, engineering and technology can pave the way for economic growth in the decade ahead.

Government policy has placed our successful science and research base at the core of its strategy for economic growth, can the UK fully back a stimulus package similar to the US or will the sector be held more accountable and scrutinised for the public money spent?
