Funders Forum
The Research Base Funders Forum brings together governmental and non-governmental funders of public good research to consider the collective impact of their strategies on the sustainability, health and outputs on the Research Base.
The Core Group of the Forum meets quarterly. It includes representatives from charities, industry, Research Councils, Funding Councils, Regional Development Agencies, the Higher Education sector and Government departments.
The Funders Forum includes representatives from Government but is not a Government body. Any views expressed in the minutes should not be taken as a statement of Government policy. The Forum has several subgroups looking at issues such as the sustainability of university research, health of academic disciplines and research careers.
