Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
The RSE’s mission is ‘the Advancement of Learning and Useful
Knowledge’. To fulfill this, it promotes learning and puts the multidisciplinary expertise of its Fellows to work for the good of Scotland and its people. Its role is to:
• promote and recognise excellence in and the application of all areas of learning
• be a source of independent and expert advice on matters affecting the well being of Scotland and its people
• advance public discussion on matters of national and international importance
The RSE’s 2007 – 2012 Strategic Framework sets six strategic
priorities:
• developing our partnerships and connections with others
• providing independent advice on major issues affecting public policy
• developing our arts and humanities activities and their interface with science
• broadening public engagement
• diversifying our funding sources
The RSE sought to achieve these objectives through the delivery of Core Public Benefits, Fellowship, and Management
Administration Programmes.
