CORE TEAM
Scotland Beyond Net Zero is hosted by Edinburgh Earth Initiative, at the University of Edinburgh. Our core team supports the delivery and governance of the partnership.
Scotland Beyond New Zero has a Steering Group, made up of senior academics from each of our 13 members with expertise in climate change. Each members acts as a local lead in their own institution. We have a Governing Board, comprising Vice Principals with responsibility for research, innovation and external engagement across our universities. We also have specialist academic theme leads. These are appointed annually to focus on one or two of our priority themes. Our current leads focus on food, and finance. Finally, we have a partnership manager who looks after the Scotland Beyond Net Zero programme. Please explore our core team using the profiles below.
