Women in science, technology, engineering & maths: a strategy for Scotland

ian.birrell@sserc.org.uk (Ian) — Thu, 03 May 2012 08:34:55 GMT

There is widespread agreement that science underpins key sectors of the Scottish economy and is a vital component in the creation of economic growth. But sustainable economic growth can only be achieved if we make best use of the skills of our people to boost productivity, and support the flow of knowledge from our universities and colleges into wealth creation. The Royal Society of Edinburgh believes change is necessary to ensure Scotland makes full use of its available talent by tackling the under-representation of women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.
