Summary of contents

Amidst UK political and economic turbulence and with the replacement of the Chancellor and Prime Minister casting doubt on R&D funding commitments, we urged the UK Government to put science at the heart of its plan to drive economic growth and take a strategic, long-term approach to R&D funding. While recognising the challenging economic circumstances, reaffirming commitments to investment in science will ensure that the UK remains globally competitive and is equipped to meet challenges such as tackling climate change.
