The Russell Group is joining The Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE), and other key representatives from the research and development sector, in calling for the UK to be a leading country in the G7 for R&D investment.
In a joint statement published today, sector leaders also highlight the importance of R&D for the UK’s growth, economic prosperity and societal wellbeing:
Joint statement: The UK should be a leading country in the G7 on R&D investment
We are united in a belief in the importance of ambitious, long-term, and sustainable investment in Research and Development (R&D) for the future of the United Kingdom. R&D is the foundation upon which the UK’s economic prosperity, well-being, and global competitiveness rest. A sustained increase in government R&D investment creates the stability to pursue big ideas, discoveries, and innovations that improve UK public services and make the world a better place for the next generation.
