Consultation response: Submission to the Cabinet Office call for evidence to inform the government’s Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy

The Society has responded to the Cabinet Office’s request for evidence to inform the government’s Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy. This submission outlines global opportunities that are underpinned by the UK’s strength in research and innovation. We also highlight a number of challenges, threats and vulnerabilities that would impact the UK’s research and innovation system, potentially limiting its ability to exploit these opportunities. We also highlight the value of science in building alliances and soft power.
