This strategic delivery plan presents our main goals for the next 3 years covering new initiatives in our fundamental science programme, new investments in facilities in STFC national laboratories, and our ambitions to grow our links to business and industry at our research and innovation campuses. the ecosystems of clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that we support at our major research and innovation campuses play a key role in the innovation strategy and levelling up.the large-scale national facilities we build and operate deliver internationally competitive multidisciplinary capabilities to the science base across UKRI and for industry the expertise and facilities within STFC national laboratories provide key delivery capability for the National Space Strategy.our grant-funded science programme utilises major research infrastructures around the globe and is almost entirely international, placing us in a key position to deliver science diplomacy elements of the Integrated Review.STFC is well placed to play an important role in delivering these strategies. the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy.I greatly welcome the opportunities that arise from our UKRI strategy and key government strategy documents such as: We are committed to increasing our investment in early career technical staff through expanding our successful apprentice scheme with the aim of developing a pipeline of skills for the UK. STFC national laboratories host a critical mass of expertise in key technologies including: This depth of expertise is central to operating the UK’s large-scale multidisciplinary facilities. We are also one of the largest science delivery organisations in the UK with over 2,500 staff in scientific, engineering, and technical roles. These profound and exciting discoveries have changed the way we understand the universe with the potential to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects. Our funding has enabled the UK to play a leading role in some of the most fundamental discoveries of the last 50 years, including the Higgs boson at CERN and gravitational waves. Our fundamental research seeks to understand the universe from the largest astronomical scales to the tiniest constituents of matter, and creates impact on a very tangible, human scale. We also build and operate many of the UK’s largest multidisciplinary research facilities at our national research and innovation campuses, which are essential to delivering UKRI’s collective ambitions. We fund research in particle physics, nuclear physics, astronomy, space science and particle astrophysics. STFC is a world-leading research and innovation organisation, with a unique role within UKRI.
