University of the West of Scotland Engagement Event May 2026

SIPR was delighted to join colleagues at the University of the West of Scotland for a really engaging and productive afternoon hosted by the UWS Crime, Justice and Security Research Group, Dr Maria Sapouna and Professor Colin Clark

The event was opened by Professor Robert MacIntosh, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) at UWS, who highlighted the importance of collaboration, innovation and interdisciplinary research in addressing complex societal challenges.

It was fantastic to see such a wide range of disciplines represented.

Dr Andrew Wooff, Director of SIPR, spoke about SIPR and S-PACE funding opportunities, networks and future areas for collaboration, with Monica Craig, SIPR Head of Operations, also joining the session and discussions throughout the afternoon.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, shared ideas and contributed to such an open and collaborative atmosphere. There was a real sense of momentum in the room, with exciting conversations and new connections already beginning to develop.

We look forward to continuing the conversations and strengthening links across UWS and beyond.
