Understanding public opinion is how we will make R&D matter to more people 👥 To support our work through to 2029 CaSE is seeking to commission a public research agency to: 📊Ensure CaSE establishes a robust data series to track public attitudes to R&D and R&D investment. 📝Ensure CaSE can rapidly support policy development processes for CaSE, our members and the wider R&D sector through ad-hoc quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods research.  The Request for Proposals closes at 09:00 on Tuesday 21 January.

We're looking for a public opinion research agency to work with us over the next 5 years, to deliver a series of landmark studies into how the public feel about R&D as a political and societal priority. This builds on our Discovery Decade programme from the last 3.5 years, with the exciting chance to explore new issues, trial new methods, and track trends over time. Our work aims to support the whole R&D sector to convey a clearer and more compelling narrative - to both the public, and political audiences. If your agency is keen to work closely with our team to deliver that goal, then read our Request for Proposal and submit by 09:00 on Tuesday 21 January.

Thank you to all those who came to our 2024 Annual Lecture and joined in the discussion about the mission and work of the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) led by Ilan Gur. 📺✍🏼You can read our summary of the lecture, watch the full recording back, and browse some photos here: https://lnkd.in/exRti7s7 This years lecture was kindly sponsored by Elsevier and Queen Mary University of London, we are extremely grateful to them for their support, and to Imperial College London for hosting the event.

ONS data published this week shows that expenditure on R&D performed by UK businesses was £49.97 billion in 2023. While this represents an increase in cash terms from 2022 and is consistent with annual cash increases in recent years, high inflation means business R&D investment in real terms has fallen in the last two years and was the same in 2023 as it was in 2018.
