What does the future of STEM in Scotland look like? That was on the agenda of our Science and the Parliament event in Edinburgh today. Around 200 people headed to Dynamic Earth to share their views and hear from experts, while our Royal Society of Chemistry President Dr Annette Doherty and Richard Lochhead MSP, Scotland's Business Minister, gave speeches. Our colleague Niall Sommerville kicks off our video, giving a flavour of what took place in the Scottish capital...

Today sees our excellent annual event at Holyrood, bringing together the scientific and political communities in Scotland to discuss “the future of STEM in Scotland” at Science and the Parliament. Our president Annette Doherty is leading the Royal Society of Chemistry delegation in Edinburgh today, including meeting Richard Lochhead MSP, Minister for Business, Fair Work and Skills Scotland. Look out for further highlights later on from Niall Sommerville and the organising team.
