BBSRC will be launching its new 5-year strategic plan on Thursday 28 January with a webcast from Chief Executive Prof Douglas Kell. To watch the webcast and to see the premiere of a new film explaining the vision for BBSRC science please visit: www.bbsrc.ac.uk/strategy from 10am on 28 January 2010.

The strategic plan for 2010-2015 will set out BBSRC’s leading high-level priorities and aspirations over the next 5 years, as well as some of the underlying principles upon which we will base our future funding decisions.

Following the launch of plan with the webcast a blog will be open for a week for people to leave feedback and comments. Over the following week each comment will receive a response from Prof Kell. People can also ask questions about the plan through Prof Kell’s twitter feed – www.twitter.com/dbkell

The new BBSRC film – called ‘The Age of Bioscience’ – will explain the place of bioscience research in the world and the vital role played by the BBSRC research community.
