Research Network to create Multi-Disciplinary Research Centre for Scottish Child and Family Law and Policy
People Involved
Project Description
Our Research Network will launch the unique Multi-Disciplinary Centre for Scottish Child and Family Law and Policy, building upon the successes and networking opportunities generated by our workshop series. The value of Research Networks has increased significantly given the impact of COVID in terms of generating/sustaining novel and valuable research-sharing opportunities, holding face-to-face events etc.
Our Research Network aims: (i) to facilitate meaningful, research-led collaborations between academics, law and policy-makers and wider professionals working in Child and Family law and related fields; (ii) to increase the impact of personal and collaborative research; (iii) to share knowledge/discussions widely and effectively in existing, emerging and novel areas of the field; (iv) to create opportunities for joint research activities and publications for new and emerging academics and post-graduate students.
