We will provide an information hub for existing published research relevant to Scotland’s colleges, keeping it up-to-date and drawing out key themes
We will provide a framework for proposing new research and enquiry work, supporting and commissioning original research where appropriate
We will support and drive the enhancement work arising from the research, working with networks and short-life working groups
We are a small team dedicated to driving research and enquiry activity in Scotland’s colleges, to enhance performance and student success.
