To help R&D organisations prepare for, and navigate, the fragmenting political environment, CaSE is producing an evidence-led review on how the shifting voter landscape will affect R&D advocacy, with practical insights to guide R&D organisations towards the right messages at the right moments.
Our first step was to analyse existing evidence sources on voter attitudes and extract any R&D-related insights. These included reports or data sets from organisations in the R&D community, as well as other external sources.
As part of this evidence gathering, we were also keen to understand the sector’s priorities in this area, and looked to identify any knowledge gaps or insights that would be especially helpful for our collective advocacy and engagement with political parties.
Although the initial call for evidence closed in early march, we welcome you getting in touch by email to casepublicopinion@sciencecampaign.org.uk if you would like to know more about this project.
