"Since 2000, the government has allocated over £800m to constructing ten new large scientific facilities, with £270m earmarked for five future projects.1 These
facilities are planned and operated over long timescales, often involving international collaboration, and have a significant economic impact. This POSTnote describes
the system used by the UK to plan new large scientific facilities. It gives examples of facilities both current and planned, highlighting relevant policy issues."
