The Scottish Universities Insight
Institute invites submissions for Knowledge Exchange programmes to be held in
the Institute in the period March to September 2013. The Insight Institute will
support at least 3 programmes as a result of this call. Programmes should:
- address substantial issues that face Scotland and the wider world;
- require a multi-disciplinary approach and the input of policy-maker and/or practitioner knowledge;
- marshal the existing knowledge of participants and deploy their experience in fresh ways;
- be productively addressed through a schedule of activities during a period of up to 6 months; and
- have the capacity to extend knowledge and inform policy and/or practice.
Programme participants should
include international expertise. Organising teams must include members employed
at 2 of our partner universities. The universities financially sponsoring these
programmes are the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, St Andrews,
Stirling and Strathclyde. Academics from other Scottish universities may
participate but not lead programmes. Full details of eligibility criteria are
in the Guidelines for Applicants. Application guidelines and
application forms can be downloaded at: http://www.scottishinsight.ac.uk/AbouttheInstitute/Callforproposals.aspx
