Our Partners

Collaboration with non-academic organisations is central to SGSSS’ vision for research. We seek to develop social science doctoral students who are rounded and independent thinkers, and whose work can contribute to local, national and global challenges.

As we operate at the national scale, we can draw on a wide range of contacts across our University network and can support organisations across Scotland. Through collaboration with a range of partners across the private, public and third sectors, we seek to share knowledge, develop innovative training opportunities, and generate positive impact.  

To find out more about how we work, please follow the links and see our list of partners below. If you would like to discuss opportunities to work with SGSSS, please contact us on team@sgsss.ac.uk.
