Ahead of the 2015 Election, CaSE has published three briefings which set out feasible and practical actions that could be taken by the political parties in the next term of Parliament to make the UK a leading scientific nation.

The briefings are on:

• Science and Engineering Investment 
• Science and Engineering Education and Skills 
• Science and Engineering in Government 

Their publication last week received coverage on BBC News online, The Guardian, Research Fortnight and the TES.

CaSE will write to the leader of every political party with at least one MP, sending them these briefings and asking them to set out their manifesto commitments on science and engineering. We will analyse and publish the responses.

You are invited to attend the 2014 CaSE Annual Lecture, given by the NASA Chief Scientist Dr Ellen Stofan, on the evening of 14th November, 7pm.

In her lecture, entitled 'NASA's Journey to Mars', Dr Stofan will provide an overview of the agency's plans to develop a human exploration pathway to Mars, and highlights of other NASA science programs. After the lecture, there will be a drinks reception.

The lecture is free and you can register for tickets here. Please note, if the Annual Lecture sells out, priority will be given to CaSE members. You can join CaSE for as little as £2.50 per month here.

The event is kindly hosted by the Science Museum and sponsored by the Science & Technology Facilities Council, The Royal Astronomical Society, and University College London.

The AGM is open to all individual and organisational members. If you are unable to attend the AGM but wish to send a proxy please send us their contact details.
