It's Alastair's penultimate day as Director. The end of an era! In that time he has worked with 9 US Conveners & seen us through 4 UK elections, 3 Scottish elections & 2 referenda. COVID undoubtedly one of the hardest times. Sector's leadership on access one of many highlights!

It was the launch of Scotland: Beyond Net Zero tonight with founding partners @UofGlasgow & @EdinburghUni & 4 more uni partners. Achieving Net Zero is essential, as is collaboration, but the means to get there must boost productivity to stay on track to the end goal.

🆕We welcome the recognition by the UK Government of universities as wealth generators through spin-outs and the Government's support outside of the Golden Triangle.
We look forward to seeing the ways in which the £20 million investment will foster more spin-outs.

Fantastic to see the value of university spin-outs being recognised by the government👏 University spin-outs create thousands of jobs, drive economic growth and promote local regeneration across the UK📈 loom.ly/MjfEigk

Universities across Scotland are able to turn their research into local benefits in areas like education, health and the arts - many of these benefits are felt within a 15 mile radius of the campus.

Lots of great resources here showing how @uni_scot institutions are driving the economy and building a better society through research and innovation. And brilliant evidence too about how @scotgov can make a top investment in economic growth and jobs creation by backing research!

Great to hear this from @HumzaYousaf. I’m proud to be part of @ProsperScot’s work to create inclusive prosperity. We bring industry together with academia, public sector, third sector and trade unions in a unique alliance to achieve that.
Prosper@ProsperScot
“I don’t think there’s an organisation like it across the UK that brings together so many different industries. The Scottish Government looks forward to continuing to work with Prosper.” First Minister, @HumzaYousaf, shares his support as we take this next step in our journey.

Important words from @uni_scot member @UofGVC. Scotland’s economy is boosted by research and innovation, with £8m of economic impact from every £1m invested. @scotgov can choose to power this by passing on in full Regional Innovation Fund money announced by UK Gov this week.

Shared my thoughts in @heraldscotland today on how to improve R&D funding for Scotland. Core research and knowledge exchange funding has increased at a greater rate in England while in Scotland funding hasn’t kept pace with that: heraldscotland.com/politics/23836… A short thread 🧵 1/4
