Four academies say investing in science can help tackle issues voters care about the most
Scientific research and innovation are key to tackling issues that voters care about, such as health, climate change, crime, and the economy, according to a new briefing for parliamentary candidates released by the national academies today.
The Royal Society, British Academy, Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Academy of Medical Sciences have joined forces to call for greater support for research and innovation, saying that the UK should be investing 3 per cent of GDP in R&D.
