Edinburgh’s important research and study links with Europe – and opportunities to strengthen them – were the focus of a high-level meeting in Berlin.

At the Connected Scotland event, which was attended by the Scottish and German governments, the University’s expertise in areas such as Data Driven Innovation were showcased.

University leaders presented a range of case studies to highlight German-Scottish collaboration. Edinburgh’s ongoing commitment to promote study abroad opportunities for staff and students was also discussed.

Representatives of other Scottish universities were also in attendance, along with members of Connected Scotland, the umbrella organisation that supports Scotland’s higher education institutions.
