The Arkleton Centre for Rural Development ResearchMajor award of core fundingThe Centre has received major funding from the Scottish Higher Educational Funding Council under its highly competitive scheme for the development of innovative research at Scottish Universities. This will be matched by funding from the University of Aberdeen and other sources to allow a further 7 Research Fellows to be appointed to work, developing the multi-disciplinary team, in association with a number of departments within the University on a variety of research themes : rural competitiveness: sustainable rural development; quality of life in rural areas. This further develops the Centres three key characteristics : a people focus; an international perspective; policy and practice relevance. One of the Fellows will be based at Leirsinn (Gaelic Research Centre) on the Isle of Skye.
