Persuade the government to increase the 2015-16 science budget in June – we only have a few weeks to make a difference!

We urge the Government to unfreeze the science budget and increase its research and development spend in 2015-16. Further, to demonstrate its vision that science is vital for the UK, we ask the Government to set itself the long-term target of raising R&D spending to at least 0.8% of GDP – the G8 average.

These top scientists endorse our campaign:
