R&D and innovation are central to the delivery of the Government’s five national missions and will be crucial components in developing the UK’s growth-driving sectors, which were set out in the Government’s Industrial Strategy Green Paper.

With the full Industrial Strategy now published, CaSE and Elsevier are co-hosting a webinar on 7 July at 10:00am to discuss the latest evidence underpinning R&D’s vital role in delivering on the Government’s priorities and actions that policymakers and the sector can take to emphasis this. We will share insights from our work that will help you engage with the Industrial Strategy.

CaSE will be presenting findings from our recent report, Mission Critical R&D, which draws on evidence from the breadth and expertise of our membership across the UK, as well as our public opinion research exploring attitudes to R&D and the Government’s missions.

We will be joined by Sarah Main, Vice President, Academic and Government Relations, UK at Elsevier. Sarah will be presenting Elsevier’s new nationwide analysis that sheds light on the UK’s research and innovation capability to support the Government’s five missions. This understanding will help the Government leverage and build on those capabilities and enable university and research leaders to deliver and demonstrate their contribution to national goals.
