The British Science Association welcomes the Government’s commitment to R&D, skills, and education in the budget yesterday. These are important areas that will contribute to innovation, opportunity and growth across the UK, so we are pleased that the Government has committed investment for the long-term. 

Clio Heslop, Head of Policy, Partnerships and Impact at the British Science Association, says:

Announcements such as the R&D Missions Programme provide an opportunity to ensure science and innovation is working with the whole of society. Through our work we hope to extend the impact of these Government investments, so that people and communities across the UK can contribute to and benefit from science and technology.
