Welcome to UKCDS

The UK Collaborative on Development Sciences - UKCDS, brings together key UK funders and stakeholders who provide support for the development sciences research base.

Members of UKCDS will be working together to establish a framework for co-ordinating development sciences research in the UK. Its aim is to provide sustainable improvements and benefits for the lives of the world's poorest people. 

Sir Gordon Conway

Professor Sir Gordon Conway, chairman of the UKCDS Steering Board says, "The future wellbeing of mankind requires effective cooperation between three very big players: government, private foundations and research councils. Science must have a voice in policy making both here in the UK and in developing countries and UKCDS aims to provide a coordinated response to current and future policy needs."
