As the UK prepares to leave the EU, more than ever we must play to our strengths.
The fruits of science & engineering enrich all our lives. In an increasingly competitive global economy, they will also be the drivers of future innovation, productivity gains, and high-value job creation.
Our six priority areas for government:
- Equip providers to deliver high-quality STEM education and training that is open to all
- Create a migration system that supports mobility for excellence, skills, education and collaboration
- Grow the UK’s leadership and collaboration in research & innovation internationally
- Invest at a level and in such a way as to enhance the UK’s research & innovation environment
- Deliver a stable regulatory environment that facilitates trade, access to markets and innovation
- Champion the use of evidence and science advice in all government decisions, documents and messaging
