STFC funding crisis
STFC completes its Programmatic Review
Institute of Physics
9 July 2008
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has completed and published the results of its Programmatic Review. Three months of consultation resulted in more than 1,400 submissions being made to STFC from members of the research community.
The outcomes of the Programmatic Review, the process of prioritising projects and allocating funding according to the highest priorities, can be found at http://www.stfc.ac.uk/STFCConsultation/comment.aspx?ci=1&m=2.
Peter Main, director of education and science at the Institute of Physics (IOP), said, “The Institute is watching developments closely and we will continue to raise to STFC any concerns that emerge.
“Much of our attention now, however, is focused on the Wakeham Review. We have been working with the Review panel to ensure they are well informed about the health of physics in the UK.”
