Rural Affairs and the Environment (RAE) Consultation on the Research Strategy for 2016-2021.
The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on the scope and content of the draft RAE Research Strategy for the 2016-2021 period.
5. Strategic Priorities
The high level aim for the SG's investment in research remains to contribute to its single purpose - "to focus the Government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth".
The broad direction for 2016-2021 therefore remains unchanged.
The three strategic priorities adopted for 2011-2016 were:
- Supporting policy and practice;
- Supporting innovation and the economy;
- Scientific resilience.
These were underpinned by two further priorities that support scientific excellence and impact and collaborative and multi-disciplinary working (Research Strategy 2011-2016).
Since the broad direction remains unchanged we propose to retain the same strategic priorities for RESAS investment over the period 2016-2021. The underpinning priorities are now captured within the 'Enabling Principles' for the strategy.
Question 1: Do the 2011-2016 strategic priorities remain robust and relevant for the period 2016-2021?
