ExcelScient is available to provide a critical appraisal of issues that affect the science base of the UK.
Science policy affects current research and innovation undertaken, as well as the education of future scientists. Consequentially, this affects UK GDP, in both the short and long term, making science policy relevant to us all. Budget decisions and government policies have a direct effect on:
- Skills and education in the UK (in schools and universities)
- Research and innovation strategy
- Technology transfer between universities and British companies
- Retaining and attracting high-value industry in Britain
With experience of both academic and commercial research, ExcelScient is well placed to analyse scientific policy and its effects on the UK and its global position. Our analysts are well placed to communicate the benefits and pitfalls of high level strategy to the general public and policy makers alike.
ExcelScient can provide press comment on:
- Education and Skills in maths and physics (and the “shortage” of mathematicians and physicists)
- Independent science advice
- The use of statistics in government press releases
- Research funds and strategies
