We are delighted to invite you to the SIPR Engagement Event featuring the annual James Smart Memorial Lecture which this year will be delivered by Dr Alison Heydari, Programme Director of the NPCC Race Action Plan.

The purpose of the engagement event is to provide an opportunity to bring academics, practitioners, and policy makers across Scotland together to create opportunities to network, discuss research, and forge collaboration opportunities. In particular, this event provides an opportunity to get the know the work of our SIPR Thematic Networks in more detail and meet not only the Associate Directors leading the Networks but also the researchers and practitioners undertaking and pioneering some of the key work under each theme.
