The committee is meeting with a range of stakeholders to discuss the subject in more detail.听Themes for this session included exploring the context of the Government鈥檚 commitment to reaching 2.4% of GDP being spent on R&D by 2027, and the creation of UKRI as an opportunity for planning how this can be achieved. The Committee will also explore international comparisons of R&D spending, the regional distribution of investment, and how R&D can be aligned with social and economic goals.

Three sets of panels were the first to provide evidence over two and half hours, starting with CaSE Director, and Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) Honorary聽Professor, Dr Sarah Main聽and concluding with聽Professor Joanna Chataway, Head of Department at STEaPP.听

Sarah Main聽appeared alongside Sir Paul Nurse, Director of the Francis Crick Institute, Kristen Bound, Executive Director of Research and Analysis at NESTA, and Professor James Wilsdon, professor of research policy at Sheffield University.

Joanna Chataway聽was in the final panel representing her expertise and background in science policy alongside Professor Paul Nightingale, Professor of Strategy at University of Sussex. Reflecting on the event, Joanna commented, 鈥�New commitments to increase UK R&D offer an exciting opportunity to support academic institutions, industry and others聽in developing science and innovation agendas that meet critical social, environmental and economic need. It is time to be ambitious and it was great to have the opportunity to be part of the Select Committee鈥檚 deliberations鈥�. Whilst Dr Main expressed that, "At a time when the Government has set a target to approximately double the UK's research and development activity over ten to fifteen years, it is important that Parliament scrutinises why and how that is done. I believe that the Government should set a clear vision for what the target is intended to achieve and to guide delivery of the target and its outputs. Furthermore, that setting a long-term budget for the public portion of the target will allow for the best possible stewardship of public money and will enable discussion and purposeful decisions on any shifts in balance of funding."
