We are again involved in the popular Edinburgh Lectures series. The theme for this year is “Making Scotland”.
The lectures will explore how physical, political, commercial and cultural issues shape our country, its people and Scotland’s role on the global stage.
Our lecture "Neuroscience in Education: The good, the bad and the ugly" will be presented by Professor Sergio Della Sala.
The event will be held in the Playfair Library, Old College on Tuesday 23 February at 6pm.
