This event, hosted at the Technology and Innovation Centre, is designed to gather experts from academia, industry, and government. Its primary purpose is to address the pressing scientific and technical opportunities and challenges currently facing Scotland.
The day’s agenda will include engaging workshops and insightful roundtable discussions spanning a diverse range of topics, including policy, innovation, and education. A lunchtime address and a dedicated networking break will facilitate connections among delegates. These sessions are particularly tailored for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) seeking information on available local resources, featuring presentations from organizations offering specialist knowledge, capabilities, funding, and regional support networks. This Royal Society event is also a component of the broader “Creating Connections in Scotland 2025” series, which addresses scientific and technical opportunities and challenges across various UK regions.
