BIS Consultation on Proposals for Long-Term Capital Investment in Science & Research (April 2014)

As a nation and as a global society we have some major challenges ahead, especially in relation to climate and energy. Now, more than ever we need our young people to be inspired by science and engineering and to see it as something they want to be part of, both for our future economy and our future well-being. We also want every UK citizen to feel sufficiently confident with science and the process of science to understand the evidence, ask the questions they need and discuss matters and policies that will have a big impact on their lives.

This Government consultation asks for views on prioritising where to put £5.9 billion of research capital funding between 2016 and 2021.
