We envisage LCA-RSIN as a network with long-term benefits, and intend to support our members for as long as challenges in the use of LCA in Regulatory Science remain.

To help achieve this, a Network Development Group has been established to investigate potential funding sources and operation models following the end of our Innovate UK funding in December 2025.

This group is chaired by Lorraine Ferris. Lorraine has a wealth of experience in a variety of senior roles, primarily in the chemicals industry and since 2023 as a Fellow at the Henry Royce Institute. Lorraine's experience of working with businesses of all sizes will help guide the Network Development Group to develop a proposition suitable for all network members.

The group will meet regularly to develop options for the future of the network. If you feel you are able to contribute to this group, please contact Lorraine via the network mailbox.
