The scientists who have been vocal in their Summit brings together a diverse group concerns about Britain’s future relationship of people with different areas of expertise with our European neighbours. What is not and experience because we recognise that under dispute is the importance of science, there is a need for a more interdisciplinary technology and innovation to the country’s approach to addressing these issues. future; and positioning the UK as a leader We have convened an excellent range in areas such as environmental policy, AI, of speakers on three key topics of the and genetic technologies.

Key moments of the first six months of 2018 On 28 June 2018, a panel of experts from science, business, policy and the media addressed attendees at the Half-time review event at Digital Catapult in London. They revealed their stand-out moments from the last six months – from the public outcry about plastic pollution to Mark Zuckerberg’s Senate hearing – and shared their predictions of what we can expect in the latter half of the year.
