Research drives the prosperity of modern, engaged, successful countries and will be critical to finding effective solutions to the challenges increasingly impacting societies across the globe, such as climate change, food and water security, global pandemics, antibiotic resistance, and the ethical use of emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning, among others.
The Go8 and the Russell Group produce a range of high-quality, world class research that addresses these challenges and underpins the success and prosperity of both our nations.
We recognise that, like any other valuable asset, this research, and the collaborations that drive it need to be protected from rapidly evolving threats in a complex global environment.
The Go8 and Russell Group has today pledged to work with our respective Governments and security agencies to continue developing effective and risk-based measures to protect future international collaborations, prevent unnecessarily restrictive measures and ensure our respective nations remain open to the world.
We will continue to work together to support the prosperity of our nations, and our partner nations, around the world.
