The Scottish Crucible is an award-winning career-development programme designed by NESTA and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
From their website:
'Scottish Crucible 2015 is all about helping researchers to see the bigger picture. It aims to help researchers think differently and send participants back to their work inspired. The programme has been put together with the express goal of helping participants discover skills and attitudes likely to make your research more innovative. We want participants to return armed with a greater understanding of how science can benefit society and how thinking creatively can really make a difference to their work and their career.'
