Science 2040: A Vision for the Future

12 May 2025, by ablahatherell in News


The Heilbronn Institute is pleased to be featured in the recently published Royal Society’s Science 20240 interim report as a case study (see page 20).  Science 2040 is a Royal Society programme looking at what the UK science system could and should look like in the future. 


The purpose of the interim report is to bring together the first phase of the Science 2040 programme, focused on the value of science to society and current strengths and weaknesses of the UK’s science and innovation system in delivering this.  It seeks to make a general case for a long-term vision of science for the UK and what the parameters of this should be, and identifies the greatest long-term challenges this needs to address.
