Business and Innovation Policy
Consultations
The Institute works to contribute to the debate on issues that relate to physics and physicists in business. In this role we respond to consultations and reports from government departments and agencies and other bodies to further the aims of physics.
A list of recent submission and responses to consultations in areas that affect physics and physicists in industry can be seen by following the link on the right-hand side of this page. We value the views of our members in the formation of our responses and policies. If you wish to become an innovation policy adviser, or if you wish to discuss and aspect of the Institute's policy activities in the area of business and innovation, please contact Alex Connor.
