Policy Team | Who We Are

Our policy work focuses on creating environments where research thrives and its benefits reach people quickly.

We do this by providing expert insight and advocacy, creating pragmatic, ambitious policy solutions and developing the evidence base, arguments and products to reach our influence goals. We deliver collaboratively with Corporate Affairs and the Government Relations and Strategic Partnerships Team.
