Completed reviews

Whilst the first series of science reviews (initiated in 2003) were recognised as valuable, a mid-programme review by GO-Science recommended a more efficient process, which more closely reflected the individual needs of departments.

In response to this review a new programme of Science and Engineering Assurance Reviews, launched in 2009, was designed to be more flexible, faster, and focused. Reports from the new programme can be accessed by following the links below.
