An immigration system that works for science and innovation
Summary of contents
We responded to the House of Commons Science & Technology Select Committee inquiry into an immigration system that works for science and innovation. Our response outlines the mobility needs of those working in the research and innovation community and how an immigration system that supports science must be flexible and welcoming. We draw upon evidence from our own work in hosting scientific conferences to illustrate the international nature of scientific endeavour and highlight the key role that frequent, short-term mobility plays in maintaining and enhancing the UK’s role as a world-leader in science and innovation.
