Dear All,
the Geological Society has opened an online survey to inform
its response to the Government on three issues:
- The Industrial Strategy Green paper;
- The Great Repeal Bill for EU exit;
- The Higher Education Bill.
Details are at:
https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/policysurvey
The survey seems not to be restricted to GeolSoc members, so we
encourage BGA members from both Parent Societies to fill it in.
Don't hesitate to share your ideas on these subjects with me, too, so
I can pass them on to Robert Massey at the Royal Astronomical
Society, too, for inclusion in the RAS response to the Industrial
Strategy Green Paper.
The questionnaire is mostly free-format with spaces for detailed
responses. The GeolSoc is particularly interested in information
about skills shortages, the effect of "Brexit" on regulatory frameworks
and on science funding, the Teaching Excellence Framework in
universities, and the re-structuring of the Research Councils. If you
can comment on one or more of these, or related issues,
please do fill in the survey, or send me your thoughts.
Sheila Peacock,
list co-owner; Geological Society Council.
