“This review is a blueprint for how the UK can make the most of its science capabilities to improve lives and livelihoods, through integrating national assets, infrastructure, skills, and investment. Long termism is the magic ingredient, and we call on all political parties to work together to secure a UK strategy for R&D.
“In addition, public support is vital to create a science-positive, innovation-positive country. Our new public insights dataset points the way.”

The weekend before the UK Government’s 2025 Spending Review, the Department of Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) announced the headline R&D spending plans for the next four years.

DSIT have today announced the criteria that will be used by government to set ten-year R&D budgets. We welcome this positive step towards a long-term sustainable policy platform that allows the UK R&D sector to thrive.
