UK Election 2015 – Science and Engineering in Government

A briefing articulating tangible actions the next Government could take to strengthen science and engineering in the UK including Parliamentary scrutiny, the CSA network and departmental R&D.

This briefing is one of a set of three briefing that were sent to each of the main political parties ahead of the 2015 General election. This briefing outline actions linked to the use of research and evidence in policy making and parliamentary scrutiny.

CaSE developed its positions in consultation with our members and the wider science and engineering community, through a series of Opinion Forum meetings in 2014. We have distilled the high level messages from these meetings to form the basis of our advocacy and campaigning work in the run-up to the election.
