MRC’s Executive Chair, Professor Patrick Chinnery, shares the key insights from our recent engagement event at the Frances Crick Institute, which brought together stakeholders from across the South East and London to exchange ideas on UKRI’s new strategy. Key takeaways from the day’s conversations include:

• Enthusiasm for the strategy and particularly the importance of thinking about the value and impact of the research and innovation we do for the public
• That we must work together and co-design this approach
• To continue our commitment to train the next generation of researchers and innovators so the economy can continue to flourish and grow.
