The funding of research through the Framework Programmes of European Union

An updated supplement to Save British Science’s February 2001 document, ‘Science Policies for the Next Government: Agenda for the Next Five Years’.

In February 2001, SBS issued a document entitled Science Policies for the Next Government: Agenda for the Next Five Years, which set out a series of policies needed to support and enhance scientific research and education in the UK, and to strengthen both the links between science and the economy and the place of science in society.

That document inevitably requires updating and supplementing, partly because it did not cover every aspect of science policy and partly because circumstances are continually changing. With this in mind, during the course of the current Parliament, SBS is publishing a series of supplements to our Agenda for the Next Five Years.
