Informing Policymakers

We respond to requests from policymakers for information and evidence, both independently and in conjunction with our partner organisations.

Our responses are shaped by our Policy Advisory Panel, with input from other relevant Committees when appropriate, and Policy Network to ensure the views of the molecular bioscience community are represented.

We have contributed to inquiries on a range of topics across UK science and education policy that are important to our membership and our discipline.
