UK Election 2015 – R&D Investment Briefing
01 Apr 2015
This briefing is one of a set of three briefing that were sent to each of the main political parties ahead of the 2015 General election. This briefing outline actions linked to investment that we would like to see the next government take to strengthen science and engineering.
CaSE developed its positions in consultation with our members and the wider science and engineering community, through a series of Opinion Forum meetings in 2014. We have distilled the high level messages from these meetings to form the basis of our advocacy and campaigning work in the run-up to the election.
