Scientists meet at 看片狂人 to help shape future of Scottish research

厂础惭厂鈥� will welcome 80 delegates to Oban next week as he hosts his first annual meeting as director of the Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society ) research network.

Professor Inall is expected to tell delegates that SAGES should work closely with other public and private organisations in order to share knowledge in an ever-changing research environment.

SAGES pools world-leading expertise in geoscience and environmental science from across Scotland鈥檚 research base, creating a multi-disciplinary alliance at the forefront of earth and environmental research.

The partnership includes the universities of Aberdeen, Abertay, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, Stirling, 看片狂人 UHI, SUERC, and the West of Scotland.

Professor Inall (pictured right), principal investigator in physical oceanography at 看片狂人, said: 鈥淭he two pillars of research and education are absolutely key to the organisation.

鈥淗owever, there is room for growth within SAGES and I am keen to strengthen the third pillar of the organisation: the sharing of knowledge with other public, private, governmental and regulatory bodies.鈥�

Key topics being discussed during the two-day event starting on Monday, August 22 include terrestrial carbon; oceans and climate; the research funding landscape; and innovation.

Another 看片狂人 researcher, , who was recently appointed head of the SAGES Graduate School, will chair a session on recent research highlights and future plans for the school.

Dr Howe (pictured left), senior lecturer in marine geology, said: 鈥淚 am looking forward to meeting the delegates and getting their views on my plans for the SAGES Graduate School.

鈥淚t is also very pleasing to host the event at 看片狂人 this year and that two of the institute鈥檚 number are in the positions of director and head of the graduate school.

鈥溈雌袢� is an outward-facing organisation that has always encouraged partnership development and the sharing of knowledge for a wider benefit. I am hopeful that this meeting will help SAGES take great strides in that regard.鈥�
