Science Policy UK: performance of the UK science base

Body: 

Launched on 19 October, the UK government report on the  International Comparative Performance of the UK Research Base: 2011.  The summary reads: "The UK is a world leader in research, and is the world leader in terms of research efficiency per researcher and per unit of spending on research. However, the global landscape of research is fluid, dynamic and intensively competitive. Other countries are outpacing the UK in terms of growth in number of researchers and spending on research. The UK is well positioned, but its ability to sustain its leadership position is far from inevitable."  Mixed success in knowledge transfer and vulnerabilities in terms of competitive growth of science.
