Factors affecting public engagement by UK researchers 2025

The UK research sector is facing unprecedented challenges, from funding pressures to evolving assessment frameworks and cultural shifts in society. The Royal Society is conducting a survey to understand the current state of the sector and how these challenges impact your ability to communicate, collaborate, and drive meaningful change.

The survey is now closed and we will be publishing the results alongside our Science for society report in Spring 2026.
