Discover Scotland – Home of the Bold

In 2027, we invite you to join us in the beautiful city of Glasgow, in the heart of Scotland. You may be more familiar with Edinburgh, but Glasgow is its bigger, bolder sibling: a city with all the culture and character of true Scots, without the crowds and without the pretence. In our opinion, and in the opinion of many who call it home, Glasgow offers a true vision of what Scotland is at its heart.

Be Brave- But also Be Fun!

Some say that the last real wilderness in the United Kingdom lives in Scotland, and with that comes a mindset of adventure and respect.

We want you to bring that same mindset to EUSEA. As we continue to live through uncertain times (let us know when we get back to at least a little more stability), we want to hear from the brave, the bold, and the boisterous!

What are you doing in science communication and public engagement that pushes back against resistance and lifts up the voices of those who often go unheard? We cannot wait for you to share your courageous, outlandish work with us, in a place that does not stand on ceremony and says things as they are… and Glaswegians are exactly that type!

The Hosts 

For 575 years, the University of Glasgow and its inspiring people have been changing the world, from Adam Smith laying the foundations of modern economics and James Watt powering the industrial revolution, to Ian Donald producing the first ultrasound image of a foetus and Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovering radio pulsars.
Today, that legacy continues through six cross-disciplinary areas of world-class research: addressing inequalities, cultural and creative economies, precision medicine and chronic diseases, one health, future life, and the nano and quantum world, each combining a drive to push the boundaries of knowledge with a commitment to positive impact. But changing the world goes beyond discoveries and technology:
Glasgow has nurtured influential political leaders, award-winning writers and human rights activists, and remains a place where the synergy between research and teaching inspires ambitious people to develop their ideas and realise their dreams. Above all, we are open to the world, welcoming the brightest minds regardless of background, and embracing collaboration and knowledge exchange with universities, governments and businesses, as we remain dedicated to bringing inspiring people together to change the world.

The ARC is a dynamic, enabling space for collaborative, interdisciplinary research, creating the conditions for bold, innovative inquiry that breaks boundaries and drives real-world impact.

It builds a dynamic environment through shared spaces, state-of-the-art facilities and an open, inclusive culture; connects academics, entrepreneurs, technologists, artists, civic partners and the public to explore questions no single field can tackle alone; and transforms how research happens by fuelling bold ideas, encouraging innovative approaches and integrating emerging technologies.

As an engine for Glasgow’s cross-disciplinary, future-shaping research and a core driver of the university’s 2036 Research Strategy, the ARC embeds interdisciplinarity in everyday practice, accelerates impact through co-located collaboration, catalyses emerging and existing research strengths, curates bold and creative environments, provides infrastructure and technology for future-ready research, and strengthens civic and global partnerships through co-creation.
