There
is an active branch of the SRA in Scotland and it aims to provide
a networking function for people engaged in social research across
a wide range of organisations.
The current SRA Scotland committee
is formed of researchers from many organisations, who work in the
public, private, voluntary
and academic sectors. The committee aims to ensure that its membership
captures the diversity of the social science community in Scotland.
SRA Scotland delivers a wide-ranging programme of activity for
social researchers or those with an interest in social research
in Scotland.
This includes:
- A structured training programme of SRA courses in Scotland. Courses
are generally introductory level for early career stage researchers
though SRA Scotland has recently delivered some more advanced courses
such as the course on research evaluation.
- Seminars and events
on topics of interest to the social research community in Scotland,
some of which are free to attend. These
provide an excellent forum for social researchers from universities
and colleges and the private, public and voluntary sectors to
meet and discuss issues of mutual concern and to share good
practice.
Please see below for more information on
courses and events coming up in the next few months and for more
