³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Scottish higher education institutions have won a Pounds 4 million incentive to work together more closely.

The Scottish ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Funding Council aims to encourage collaboration through its Regional Strategic Initiatives Fund and is supporting more than 60 projects in institutions.

The projects include a Pounds 53,000 collaboration between Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh universities to develop a national facility which will use computer technology to allow facial reconstruction from skulls. This will be accessible to forensic medicine, archaeology and anthropology departments across the country.
