Furthermore, the GCSA is supported by the Government Office for Science (GO-Science), which hosts the secretariat for the Prime Minister’s Council for Science and Technology and comprises a highly professional team tasked with ensuring that Government policies and decisions are informed by the best scientific evidence and strategic long-term thinking.
