This post first appeared in Research Fortnight, Daniel Rathbone and Eleanor Hopkins discuss how smarter growth begins with understanding value chains in innovation.

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.

An evidence synthesis, based on new economic analysis of UK R&D and innovation, commissioned by the British Academy and Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE), details the need for tailored support of technologies as they move from discovery to commercialisation and on to adoption.

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.
