Multidisciplinary Matchmaker
Do you have a good research idea but need to connect with researchers from outside your discipline and outside your university to make it great? The Scottish Research Pools and Partners want to help.
In response to the UKRI’s pre-announcement of their cross research council responsive mode pilot scheme we are offering to facilitate connections across our wide networks within Scotland.
If you have a “bottom-up idea without a natural home council” and would like to connect, and ultimately collaborate, with a researcher from another discipline within another university then please visit our RIS website to learn more.

01
Antimicrobial Resistance Conference
In April 2018, SULSA ran a two-day conference focusing on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). By connecting individuals across the spectrum of research, health, industry and policy, we allowed Scotland to work collectively to better address the issues surrounding AMR. Check out our AMR page to learn more about the conference, it’s impact and what we’re doing to continue the momentum.
02
Disruptive Technologies Conference
In September 2019, SULSA ran a two-day conference focusing on Disruptive Technologies in the Life Sciences. Connecting individuals across the spectrum of research, industry and funding, this exciting meeting was an invaluable opportunity to hear from the pioneers of the ground-breaking technological advances that are fundamentally changing the way we study biology and understand disease. Please visit our page to learn more about the conference and explore what we’re doing to continue the momentum.
