Government Departments Launch Areas of Research Interest

A number of UK Government Departments have begun to publish Areas of Research Interest, guideline documents which provide detail on the main research questions facing individual departments.

The Areas of Research Interest aim to improve how government departments align scientific and research evidence from academia with policy development and decision-making, and engage with the research community.
