“Knowledge transformation is central to Scotland’s future success in the global market place and in tackling the 21st century’s grand challenges. As such, I am proud to support the RIS mission to drive more challenge-led, collaborative R&I with transformative impacts for both society and the economy. By working together and ‘re-wiring’ our rich research and innovation ecosystem – from academia and industry to the public and third sectors – we can ensure Scotland stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best performing innovation nations, whilst becoming more resilient and adaptive to the challenges of tomorrow.”
