We work closely with our communities and with policymakers and funders to ensure policy in regulation, research funding, research environment and innovation is evidence-based and delivers for the chemistry community.
We highlight chemistry’s unique and varied value to the UK economy, and offer expert advice on how research and innovation is supported, funded and facilitated by approaches to regulation, funding and assessment. Where new evidence is needed to inform research, innovation and regulation policy, we conduct our own research in partnership with the community.
What's in the research and innovation policy section
UK research and economy policy
By working closely with our communities, we develop evidence to help policymakers and funders understand the benefits that a well-resourced and effectively supported chemistry research and innovation sector can bring to the UK.
International funding, collaboration and regulations
UK chemistry research and innovation is influenced by our links to Europe. Our relationship with Europe affects issues such as research funding, collaboration, innovation and regulation.
Innovation, commercialisation and knowledge exchange
Collaboration and knowledge exchange across sectors and disciplines is vital to feed innovation. We explore the current state of university-business collaboration and the skills needed to enable innovation.
