"Welcome to the website for Research Councils UK, the strategic partnership of
the UK's seven Research Councils.
Each year the Research Councils invest around £2.8 billion in research
covering the full spectrum of academic disciplines from the medical and
biological sciences to astronomy, physics, chemistry and engineering, social
sciences, economics, environmental sciences and the arts and humanities.
Many activities are undertaken collectively and this site aims to give
comprehensive and up to date information on the progress of cross-Council
activities and to provide a portal into individual Councils support for
research, training, knowledge transfer and public engagement. Follow the left
hand links to find out more.
The About the Research Councils menu provides links to information on how the
Research Councils operate and the role they play in helping to deliver
Government's objectives for science and innovation. Follow the About RCUK menu
to find out more about how the Councils work together, for example in providing
submissions to consultations and Parliamentary inquiries."
