Agency consults on its new science strategy
Monday 6 June 2005
The Agency is seeking views on a new draft science strategy that seeks to identify the scientific evidence it needs during the next five years to inform its policies.
It also sets out five strategic aims for making efficient and effective use of science and indicators of success to tell us if the FSA has met these aims in five years' time.
The Agency drafted the new Science Strategy for 2005-2010 under the guidance of its independent Advisory Committee on Research. The science strategy is intended to support and inform both the Agency�s Strategic Plan 2005-2010 and its wider corporate plan, and to implement recent central Government guidelines and requirements for departmental science and innovation strategies.
The draft science strategy:
- takes a forward look over the next five years to identify the Agency�s research and survey drivers, existing and emerging issues and the scientific evidence we will need to address those issues
- sets out five key strategic aims, how the Agency will achieve them and indicators that might be used in five years' time to establish if the strategic aims have been achieved successfully
The deadline for responding to the consultation is Monday 29 August 2005.
