Research

Research plays an important role in shaping the policies of the Scottish Government.

Research helps us to think about new and better ways of doing things and provides new understandings and discoveries that benefit our society.

The Government funds a very wide range of research programmes which both contribute to the knowledge base of the UK and help to inform and assess policies.
