CaSE submission to R&D roadmap consultation

The ONS has published the latest figures for gross expenditure on R&D (GERD) in the UK in 2024. CaSE takes a look at what they mean.

UKRI have published ‘prioritisation’ at the STFC to bring down projected costs, the consequences will be significant cuts to some areas and facilities funded by the STFC.

Conservative Party have presented a defence policy proposal that includes a reduction of UKRI funding by £2 billion per year. CaSE has looked at this proposal and what it indicates about the wider position of R&D in public policy.

CaSE has received a reply to our letter to the Conservative Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Julia Lopez MP, which asked for clarity surrounding their policy position that would see a reduction of UKRI funding by £2 billion per year.
