IOP has responded to Lord Sainsbury’s Review

The Institute of Physics (IOP) has responded to Lord Sainsbury’s ‘Review of Government’s Science and Innovation Policies’ by wholeheartedly endorsing its conclusions, while stressing the need for full and coherent implementation of the enhanced Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI); a continued government drive to get more specialist physics teachers in the UK’s classrooms; and raising concern about the possibility of basic physics research being side-tracked for a government-led agenda to increase public expenditure return on research investments.

The review examines the role of science and innovation in the UK and makes recommendations to ensure that the UK remains globally competitive by restructuring UK companies into high-value goods, services and industries.
