A Vision For UK Research?

The UK's Council for Science and Technology (a government appointed body with responsibility for looking at Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) issues that cut across government departments) has just released a report - A Vision for UK Research, which recommends increased public sector funding of R&D, with one of the cited reasons to maintain international competitiveness. The recommendations are thought provoking and will probably chime well with most 'career scientists'.

We are entering interesting times in the UK for both the development of science and also the science area as a career.
