The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has announced that the next General Election will be held on July 4th 2024.
“This election is an exciting opportunity for the R&D sector to make an impact – an opportunity to embed support for R&D among policymakers, an opportunity to drive positive change and, most importantly, an opportunity to bring everybody with a stake in UK R&D into an exciting conversation about our shared future.
“During the imminent campaign period, and in party manifestos, we want to see a commitment from parties to: long term and sustainable R&D investment, unlock skills for a more research-intensive economy, build on and leverage regional strengths in R&D, drive business investment in R&D”
Dr Alicia Greated
Executive Director, CaSE
