National Academy party political conference events

Some of the ideas Professor Dominic Abrams and the National Academy panel of experts will be presenting at 3 political party conferences.

The National Academies are holding panel events at the autumn Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative political party conferences to explore how the UK can become a science superpower and whether the nation will be fit to tackle the next global crisis.

 

Professor Dominic Abrams will be joined on the panel by Professor Susan Gourvenec, Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, Amanda Solloway and Professor Jennifer Logue.
