Abstract

The Scottish Universities Insight Institute (SUII) supports collaborative and interdisciplinary programmes of knowledge exchange, which address and provide insights on substantial issues that face Scotland, and the wider world. Operating as a membership-based partnership of Scottish universities, committed to exchanging and mobilising knowledge, a fundamental aim of the Institute is to enhance the impact of academic research and to promote wider engagement with policy makers and practitioners and society at large. Over fifty projects have been funded under the various SUII programmes since 2012. Individually, these initiatives provide a useful collection of project resources. Various outputs are available via the SUII website, including information and presentation materials, such as presentations, videos and short films, briefing papers and project reports. In addition to these project-related information and knowledge resources, project teams and participants hold other experiential learning and critical insights about impact from their involvement in the various knowledge exchange and knowledge mobilisation events and activities.
