Finding environmental contacts in the UK
The Environment UK website provides comprehensive information about and links to the main environmental organisations in the UK: those parts of government with an environmental remit; research council activities and centres; national and international agencies; departments and centres in universities working in environmental subject areas; and the main environmental NGOs and charities.
Research Councils
The UK Research Councils are independent public bodies responsible to the department of Trade and Industry's Office of Science and Technology. They play a pivotal role in UK research, providing strategy and vision, working with leading researchers, industrialists and other research users to identify and map research opportunities as they emerge.
This ensures that the UK has the skilled researchers, research infrastructure and knowledge transfer processes to produce world -leading research and innovative technologies for UK industry. Read more about the seven Research Councils to gain an insight into UK Science.
