On March 6th, the Department published the Science and Technology Framework, which sets out the Government’s goals and vision for science and technology in an enduring framework that will see us through to 2030.The Framework has been developed in close collaboration with the UK science and technology sector, and is the strategic framework that government policy will deliver against, and which the government will hold itself accountable to.

Later this year, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology will publish its Outcome Delivery Plan. This will include the Department’s priority outcomes, associated delivery plans, metrics to track progress and key risks.
