UK research and development strategy July 2020
Summary of contents
Research and development (R&D) in both academia and industry, across the UK and beyond, has been vital in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic. Effective delivery of the government’s strategy for R&D means that it will continue to find solutions to the global challenges we face and enable the UK’s societal and economic recovery.
We call on the UK government to:
- Deliver increased public investment in R&D using transparent mechanisms
- Protect and stabilise key parts of the UK’s R&D system
- Work across departments to deliver the future skilled workforce the UK needs
