Political Engagement

Clear recommendations for Government and other policy makers to ensure that R&D can flourish.

We work with our members and the R&D community to develop our recommendations. We engage with the full range of political decision-makers at national, devolved and local levels. This includes responding to consultations, writing letters to MPs and contributing our voice through the media.

MPs to Watch

Following the 2024 General Election, CaSE has drawn up a list of those MPs with an interest or background in science, technology, engineering, maths or medicine (STEMM) or R&D.

This list is to help identify those in Westminster who might be advocates for R&D.
