Science, technology and innovation is one of four EGN research programmes designed to present scientifically informed and policy-relevant research to key UK and international audiences. This theme focuses on the dynamics of innovation in contemporary life science, both in relation to innovative approaches within the biosciences themselves and to the broader adoption of novel ideas from the life sciences.
