Parliament research and fact sheets

Scottish Parliament Fellowship Scheme

The purpose of the Scottish Parliament is to hold the Scottish Government to account, to scrutinise legislation and to represent the people of Scotland by debating issues of national importance.

The Academic Fellowship Scheme, which is managed and hosted by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe), enables academics to work on projects with the Parliament in support of this purpose.

The scheme aims to:

• provide the Parliament with specialised resources which allow it to undertake and communicate analysis which would otherwise not be possible
• increase the use of academic knowledge, skills and research within the Parliament
• promote knowledge and understanding of the Parliament within the academic sector.

 

Currently, there are no open calls. Future calls will be advertised on this page and via the SPICe X account.
