Senior civil servants from across Whitehall attended an event at the Royal Society earlier this month, to launch a new strategy for Goverment scientists and engineers (GSE).

The strategy sets out what the GSE profession wants to achieve over the next five years. The GSE strategy will be delivered by Sir Mark Walport, working closely with the GSE profession board.

Sir Mark said: “In five years, I would like the GSE profession to emerge having exceeded all of the expectations in the strategy, with a stronger identity that demonstrates the impact of our work and the value we bring in Government.”
