Public sector research establishments are diverse organisations that deliver science and research for public good, often playing a vital role in critical infrastructure and public safety. The Government\u2019s response, published in November 2023, to the Independent Review of the UK\u2019s Research, Development and Innovation Organisational Landscape sets out ambitious commitments to support PSREs to maximise their capabilities and performance. Commitments include raising awareness of PSREs, reducing barriers for collaborative working across PSREs and understanding challenges within recruitment and retention for PSREs. This work is underway, and progress will be reported through the Science and Technology Framework implementation plans.<\/p>"}

The UK Space Agency (UKSA) is primarily supporting electric propulsion projects via our European Space Agency (ESA) membership, which has provided a total of approximately \u20ac90m funding to support development of UK electric propulsion systems to date. This includes \u20ac63m which supported UK companies to develop electric thrusters for flagship ESA missions, \u20ac6m through Horizon2020 to enable system development and upskill UK networks, and \u20ac9m to develop an independent UK end-to-end electric propulsion system. UKSA is also exploring nuclear electric propulsion for rapid interplanetary transit and novel water-based propellants for future off-world refuelling.<\/p>"}
