The direction of government policy following the 4 July election will be critical for UK universities and the country’s research efforts — from the higher education sector’s financial health, to research and innovation priorities, to the structure of research funding and assessment.
In this post-election webinar, Research Professional News and our panel of expert speakers will examine the likely policy direction of the new government, and the impact that direction stands to have on the ground.
Chair: Sarah Richardson, Editor in Chief, Research Professional News
