• Britain: Innovation Nation

The UK has a global reputation for excellence in scientific research. Innovations in life sciences and the low-carbon economy in particular attract the world's brightest minds and most astute investors.

The Science and Innovation section in the British High Commission is part of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s global Science and Innovation Network.

Our Science Officer in Canberra is Lindsay Morgan who will be organising a series of events in 2009 to bring Australian and British innovators together in the search for scientific solutions to the challenges we face.
