Achievements

Since its creation in 1986 CaSE has fought hard on behalf of the entire R&D sector to ensure that the UK has the skills, funding and policies for the sector to thrive.

Our work has been even more important and valuable in recent years, as the sector has moved from an era of flat cash budgets to growing R&D spending, whilst still facing a number of challenges and obstacles. Explore some of our notable achievements below.
