Scottish Research Alliance for Energy, Homes, and Livelihood
St Andrews was awarded a grant of £600k to enable cross-sector networking and collaboration across academia, industry, and society in Scotland to advance key national missions. Led by Dr Mette High from the School of Philosophical, Anthropological, and Film Studies, the Scottish Research Alliance for Energy, Homes and Livelihoods brings diverse stakeholders together to support Scotland’s NetZero strategy without exacerbating socio-economic inequalities. The grant is part of the Alliance for Research Challenges (ARC), funded by the Scottish Research Council. Representing the ARCs, Dr High was invited to Westminster to speak on the opportunities and challenges faced by researchers in Scotland, noting that the Alliances are new and dynamic engines of impactful interdisciplinary cross-sector collaborations offering opportunities for diverse stakeholders to engage with a collaborative community.
