Measuring Government Performance

Government is taking steps to ensure that departments have the capability to manage properly the science and research they conduct and the advice flowing from it. The Science Reviews  aim to maintain and improve the quality and use of science across government.

Since 2003, the Government Chief Scientific Adviser has also conducted a review of departmental Science and Innovation Strategies, focusing on the Strategies' contribution to:

  • policy making and service delivery
  • innovation and wealth creation
  • government-wide knowledge and cross-government challenges

Next Steps

As lessons learned, and good practice created from the Science Reviews and Science and Innovation Assessments emerges, government departments will become increasingly sophisticated in their management of science and research, and their use of expert knowledge. Advances in this area will culminate in meeting government's vision for the management of science and research across government.

Looking forward, OSI will be working with departments to measure their progresScience Reviewss towards this vision.
