“Social innovation is seen as a driving force and a means to promote sustainable development. As a product of the policy discourse, social innovation can lead to the promotion of civic values, delivery of support to communities, improved sustainability in the use of natural assets and advanced resilience of socio-ecological systems.” Scientists from all over the world have come together in the 6 th Forum Carpaticum to present their research and discuss the sustainable development of the Carpathian region and mountain areas more generally. The event was organised online by the Global Change

The gut health research group at the Rowett Institute investigate the microbial species that reside in our intestines. Work also focuses on the role the gut plays in providing dietary components from the food we eat and the impact these have on human health.
“We want to hear people’s thoughts on our achievements so far – what we’ve done well, but also what we need to do better, or more of - to help us prioritise our actions for the next decade. What are your priorities for the lochs, burns and rivers of Deeside – this is your opportunity to shape their future” The partnership tasked with looking after the River Dee catchment has published a summary of its achievements over the last 15 years and is seeking public comment on priorities for future projects. Established in 2003 with the support of the James Hutton Institute, the Dee Catchment
“This was a great opportunity to discuss the collaborations we have with Kenyan institutions, particularly on potatoes." The James Hutton Institute was delighted to welcome a visit by His Excellency Mr Manoah Esipisu, High Commissioner of Kenya to the UK, and his team to our Dundee site. The visit, set up through James Hutton Limited’s membership of the Scottish Africa Business Association (SABA), was an opportunity for Mr Esipisu to gain insight into the work both James Hutton Limited and the James Hutton Institute carry out in Africa, with the added perspective of the upcoming COP26 meeting
High throughput sequencing is a powerful tool used to rapidly obtain information about nucleic acids and this can increase our understanding of the biology of a cell and assess changes that may indicate disease. Researchers use the capabilities of high throughput sequencing to survey, characterize, and quantify gene expression in a biological sample (RNA-Seq). Subsequent differential expression (statistical) analysis studies on the results produced from RNA-Seq can quantify changes observed under different biological conditions (e.g., drought, heat) and allow us to investigate the
