Queen Margaret University (QMU) Research Professoriate

The QMU Professoriate acts as an informal academic think tank, informing and influencing research and knowledge transfer agendas - internally and externally. Meeting around three times a year, the Professoriate also provides a forum for the discussion and exchange of best practice, and for exploring and exploiting cross-disciplinary developments.

Members of the professoriate also deliver a series of lectures at different times during the year. These have two important aims: to disseminate the knowledge uncovered through QMU's research activities; and to signal QMU's commitment to ensuring the transfer of this knowledge to the various communities and stakeholder groups we serve.
