Scottish
Crucible 2009
is all about helping bright thinkers to see the bigger
picture. It aims to help researchers think
differently
and send participants back to their work
inspired. The
programme has been put together with the express goal
of
helping participants discover skills and attitudes
likely to
make their research more innovative. We want
participants
to return armed with a greater understanding of how
science
can benefit society and how thinking creatively can
really
make a difference to their work and
career
|
The
Royal Society of Edinburgh is keen to facilitate,
encourage
and support research collaboration in all areas
between
Scottish and overseas research groups. The object of
the
International Exchange Programmes, funded by the
Scottish
Government, is to enable scholars and researchers to
come to
Scotland or to visit overseas from their Scottish
academic
base for a short period of time with a view to
establishing
ongoing collaboration.
