CSR Update

Apologies to those of you who came on Tuesday evening looking for our CSR update. We were here writing (and got the news out to subscribers yesterday afternoon in the Research Day UK email), but ran into technical difficulties with our blog hosts, TypePad. These are now resolved, so on with the show.

We've now got the press release from DIUS and responses from RCUK and CASE.

Stephen Cox at the Royal Society put this out: “The government have put down a clear marker in support of science. They are determined to see science play a key role in the economy and in improving the general health and welfare of people in the UK and beyond. The UK already has a world leading position in research excellence. Today’s announcement will allow the current volume of research to be properly funded, the scientific infrastructure to be maintained and the UK to keep its leading position.”
