R&D investment is critical to the UK’s future. As we approach the Budget, the Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) and 40 leading R&D organisations, including ARC, have written to the Chancellor, urging the Government to prioritise investment in research and development to achieve its ambitions for economic and social growth. While public spending is under pressure, cutting back on R&D now could hinder the UK’s long-term potential for growth, job creation, and innovation. Without proper funding, we risk losing expertise and momentum in the sector that’s vital to driving the economy forward. Alicia Greated, Executive Director of CaSE, highlighted: “R&D stands ready to play a big part in achieving the Government’s goals, but short-term decisions could lead to deep cuts across the sector, affecting jobs, expertise, and productivity.” Dr Tim Bradshaw, CEO of the Russell Group, also emphasised the importance of stable policies and sustained R&D investment: “To achieve long-term growth, we urgently need stable policies and sustained R&D investment. Otherwise, we risk cutting off the research and innovation pipeline that contributes so much to the economy.” Read the full article, here: https://lnkd.in/e2Dk4hT7 #rdinvestment #researchanddevelopment #innovation #budget2024 #economicgrowth #ukeconomy #scienceandtechnology

Innovation and world-changing solutions often start in laboratories all around the world, which is why it’s so important to get the design of these spaces right. When we create environments that are accessible and accommodating to all, it means everyone can bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the table. That's why we partnered with HOK and the University of the West of Scotland, with an industry first project to identify how together we can overcome shortcomings in current lab design and create inclusive scientific environments that allow our members to deliver life-changing science. With HOK, we’ve created a simple checklist of recommendations to ensure environments foster innovation and allow diverse minds to thrive. Head to the link below to find the checklist and learn more about our findings. https://lnkd.in/e-_ycr2B #neurodiversity #inclusivity #labspace #diverseminds #neurodivergent #labdesign
