We work collaboratively with other government departments, academia and industry, bringing wide-ranging and expert views to bear on important strategic issues. Recent projects have included the Foresight projects Genomics
Beyond Health, Net Zero Society and Wireless 2030. Current projects include Chronic Risks and Future of the Subsurface.
