Research conducted on the topic of a new UK science policy thinktank specifically aimed at restoring joy to research yielded no matching results from credible sources as of June 2026. No such dedicated thinktank was identified in searches of UK science policy developments, higher education institutions, or regulatory bodies like UKRI or the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.

Related UK higher education and research policy discussions focus on funding allocations, industrial strategy, and institutional collaborations, as seen in reports from established think tanks such as Chatham House and Policy Exchange. For instance, efforts to align research funding with national priorities continue through UKRI budget frameworks.
