Earlier this year, the UK Government set out its plans to cement the UK’s place as a science and technology superpower by 2030. The UK’s research and innovation (R&I) workforce is highly talented and is a tremendous national asset. Yet, we know that we face a number of challenges in realising the government’s ambitions – over the coming years, the UK R&I workforce will require more researchers, innovators, technicians and professionals in rapidly-evolving sectors, with ever-changing skills needs.

This conference - which brings together policymakers and organisations from across the science, research and innovation sector - aims to provide space for discussion and debate with a fantastic array of speakers. The Science Council is enormously grateful for the generous support from UKRI and the Institute of Physics, and the contributions of our member organisations in developing the day’s agenda.
