If you are there, look out for Alicia Greated chairing a panel on industry-academia collaboration and Ben Bleasdale joining a panel to discuss public expectations of science.

Fantastic to be part of GuildHE Research #GuildHEdocfest to talk about CaSE People's Vision for R&D project. An inspiring couple of days hearing about some fascinating research projects - not to mention an amazing location at University of Winchester

In our final session Dr Beki Hill from CaSE will explore the recently launched People’s Vision for R&D project, building on public opinion research which suggested the sector must work towards a society-centred vision for UK R&D.

CaSE public opinion data was cited in this Joe Pinkstone interview with Labour's Peter Kyle MP. Our polling has revealed the strength of public support for more R&D development in their local areas 🏗️🧪🧫🔬

CaSE is working with our members to ensure that increases to the Skilled Worker Visa thresholds don't put the R&D sector at risk, given average UK research scientist salaries are £17k-43k
