The IET has responded to an inquiry by the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee into delivering a UK science strategy.
The IET highlights that the UK has a very strong, competitive science base, however, it can improve its capabilities in technology and translation.
The research sector is a system of systems that are impacted by policies in a range of areas. A strong educational base and links with industry are crucial but we must also ensure that the UK works collaboratively on a global scale and learns from others who are strong in this area.
The UK is financially efficient within its science sector and this should be retained.
