Scientists for Labour (SfL)

is an organisation open to members or supporters of the Labour Party who are interested or involved in UK science and technology. Since its establishment at Labour Party Conference in 1994, it has become a strong political voice for science. SfL aims to improve the understanding both of science and of its importance within the Labour Party and nationally. It is also involved in advising the parliamentary Labour Party on technical issues affecting other areas of government policy, and regularly lobbies government ministers on science policy issues. We have several informal ad hoc groups within SfL to discuss and formulate policy on specific issues (please follow the 'groups' link on the navigation bar for more information and to contact group conveners).

We publish a regular Newsletter, "Science Matters" (this is not available on line but is sent out to members in hard copy or pdf format; some articles of general interest are occasionally reproduced on this Website).
