The Government Office for Science is highlighting the
contribution of science to policymaking with a multimedia
showcase.
Ever wondered what impact science advice has on
real-life situations? You're in the right place!
Science advice is important for effective government
decision making. From shaping responses to national
emergencies to informing long-term strategies on climate,
technology and health, scientific insight ensures decisions are
grounded in evidence – and we recognise the people
and work that makes this possible.
The Government Office for Science is kicking
off a campaign celebrating the important
contribution science advice makes to the
policy-making process. Find out how a wide range
of scientists, both inside and outside
government, are putting excellent science advice
right at the heart of decision making.
Government Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Dame said:
Science advice is fundamental to good
government. Numerous groups and individuals, such
as the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, the
Council for Science and
Technology, and the Chief Scientific
Adviser Network,
work to ensure science is at the forefront of
the government's thinking. Join us in celebrating the
people
that provide excellent science advice for policymaking, helping
to shape the decisions that improve lives
across the UK.

GOV.UK page and social media channels and get
