About CaSE

Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) exists to advocate for UK R&D, for the benefit of lives and livelihoods.

We are a charity and the leading independent voice for UK R&D, supported by a diverse membership of businesses, universities, professional bodies, research charities and individuals. Our organisational members span discovery research, science, engineering and innovation across the public, private, and charitable sectors.

We collaborate with our members, partners and the public to lend our expert voice to decisions about R&D. We specialise in developing non-partisan, responsive solutions that help R&D to thrive in ways that improve people’s lives and livelihoods.

CaSE is a small organisation that has a big impact. Recent projects have included exploring a public-led vision for the future of R&D in the UK, understanding how R&D can build stronger links with communities, highlighting the role of R&D in the Government’s five missions, mapping out the future of R&D in universities, and bringing R&D to the attention of politicians during the 2024 General Election campaign. CaSE maintains an active media presence and hosts events, such as our flagship Annual Lecture.
