STFC is a member of Research Councils UK (RCUK) and, as such, works in tandem with other research councils to ensure the UK remains a major player for science and technology.
Most STFC initiatives involve work carried out on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS).
STFC plays a pivotal role in achieving key objectives for many government departments, but particularly the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.
One example is inputting to the Technology Strategy Board, the aim of which is to stimulate innovation in those areas which offer the greatest scope for boosting UK growth and productivity.
Daresbury Laboratory has the largest scientific data archive in the UK and provides the scientific data resource for National Digital Curation Centre.
