It gives me great pleasure to host this celebratory event which provides us with an opportunity to recognise and commend the important work being carried out across academia and business here in Scotland and beyond. Tonight’s gathering brings together like-minded individuals who hail from a range of sectors, disciplines and cultures, and I hope that it will allow us to reflect upon the new national and international connections that have been forged, and appreciate the ongoing reinforcement of our existing collaborations. This evening our distinguished RSE awardees, who all have exciting and innovative projects in process or about to begin, are joined by members of the RSE Awards Selection Committees, funders and supporters. Their achievements will not only enhance knowledge and developments in their respective fields, but they also reflect the RSE’s 234-year history of supporting excellence across all areas of academic, public and business life in Scotland. Once again, it is encouraging to see the breadth of research and impact that is enabled through our wide-ranging, prestigious awards. I congratulate each of the pioneering and inspiring awardees; their achievements reflect the high standard of work that typifies the RSE and Scotland’s research and business community. Finally,
