Analysis & publications

Now that Parliament has finished for the summer, here is an ‘end-of-term’ round-up of all recent CaSE analysis of Government’s plans.

Following the 2025 Spending Review, CaSE takes a deeper look at the trends in R&D budget allocations to government departments and at the challenges in assessing R&D expenditure within the Ministry of Defence.

CaSE has launched two projects on immigration into the R&D sector, exploring new messaging approaches for this topic and building a cohesive evidence base of the barriers posed by current policy.

Public Opinion and Involvement Manager, Rebecca Hill, discusses how CaSE designed the survey that we’ll use to track attitudes to R&D over time.

In 2024, the British Academy and CaSE commissioned Cambridge Econometrics and the Innovation and Research Caucus to conduct this systems-based analysis of the strengths and weaknesses within the UK’s innovation system.

This synthesis draws out key policy implications from the findings of a report commissioned by the British Academy and CaSE. The systems-based analysis of the strengths and weaknesses within the UK’s innovation system, ‘From Research to Productivity: A Systems Analysis of UK Innovation Pathways’, was conducted by Cambridge Econometrics.

The UK Government published its Industrial Strategy on Monday 23rd June. CaSE takes a close look at what this means for the UK research and development (R&D) sector.

In this submission, we set out a series of recommendations as part of the Government consultation ahead of the 2025 Industrial Strategy.
