ReSourcE Summer 2024

The summer 2024 edition of ReSourcE explores the pivotal role of innovation and entrepreneurship in shaping Scotland’s economic future.

This edition explores Scotland’s entrepreneurial landscape, covering its historical roots and the key RSE Fellows who helped drive a century of innovation, the challenges of translating academic research into economic value, and the role of university spinouts in boosting technological competitiveness. It highlights the importance of supporting women in entrepreneurship, the need for productivity growth, and the significance of intellectual property in early-stage businesses.

Contributions from the RSE Fellowship and Young Academy of Scotland offer insights on how innovation can reshape the economy. They discuss strategies for nurturing diverse talent, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and creating an ecosystem that supports both new ventures and established businesses, ultimately enhancing community wellbeing and prosperity.

Elsewhere, you can read about this year’s Curious festival of knowledge, the new RSE community-led research awards, the bicentenary of Lord Kelvin, and more.
