HE&R Bill, Workshop Summary July 2016
18 Jul 2016
This workshop provided an opportunity to go through the research and innovation aspects of the Bill (particularly part 3 and schedule 9) in depth and by theme. As the bill continues its journey through the parliamentary process, it provided an opportunity our sector to come together and discuss areas of concern and specific bill amendments that may benefit from clarification (whether through further engagement with government, through parliamentary debate or other means).
The discussion was centred around four broad and overlapping themes:
- UKRI & council links
- Innovation
- Teaching & Research
- Governance
If numbers are a measure of priority the two themes that generated the most interest were UKRI & Council links, and Innovation. The concerns, questions and proposed amendments raised by each table are recorded in detail by theme below.

In the first Labour Government budget for 14 years, Chancellor Rachel Reeves made a series of announcements as part of the Autumn Budget 2024. Below we delve into some of the measures impacting R&D.

CaSE and the Science Media Centre coordinated a letter to The Times from eminent figures in UK research and development expressing concerns about potential cuts to the R&D budget.

CaSE has published a joint letter with other R&D organisations, calling on the Chancellor to use the upcoming autumn budget to commit to continued investment in R&D.

The 12th October marked 100 days since the new Government came to office. Here we take a look at progress to date against CaSE’s 100 day plan for how the Government could support the R&D sector and unlock its potential for economic growth.
