Leaders sought for Council for Science and Technology
The prime minister is seeking science and technology leaders to join the Council for Science and Technology.
The Council serves as the government’s highest-level advisory body on science and technology issues and provides independent advice directly to the Prime Minister and Cabinet on strategic science and technology issues that cut across the responsibilities of individual government departments.
The Council also supports the UK’s international science and technology partnerships by developing joint advice with international equivalent advisory bodies, such as the US President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
The Council is jointly chaired by an independent co-chair, Lord Browne of Madingley, and the government chief scientific adviser, Dame Angela McLean.
A campaign has been launched to find 10 new members, with expertise in science, technology, engineering or innovation with experience at a national level.
