Following the spending review, which provided a record four-year settlement, UK Research and Innovation is changing the way some of its investment is directed. This is to align with national priorities and contribute to economic growth across the UK.

The webinar is an opportunity for the environmental science community to hear from NERC leadership about what these changes mean. Professor Louise Heathwaite, NERC Executive Chair, will provide an overview. This will be followed by a question and answer panel featuring Rupert Lewis (Deputy Executive Chair, NERC) and Kate Hamer (Director of Strategy and Performance, NERC).
