About CaSE

The Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) is the leading independent advocate for science and engineering in the UK. CaSE works to put science and engineering at the heart of the UK’s future. CaSE does this by raising the political and public profile of science and engineering by conveying its economic and cultural importance. The strength of our policy advocacy is due to our political networks, independent analysis, broad membership, and responsiveness.

We have an excellent track record of influencing policy and media at the highest levels, and focusing on the important and exciting issues facing the science and engineering sector in the UK. We want the UK to have world-leading research and education, skilled scientists and engineers, and innovative businesses.

CaSE is a membership organisation funded by around 450 individual members and over 100 organisations including industry, universities, learned and professional bodies, and research charities that all recognise the importance of science and engineering for the UK.
