SIRE has an open membership policy consistent with its aim to enhance the quality of Economics research throughout Scotland. Established leading researchers within each of SIRE’s three research programmes are identified in the summaries of research themes found in the “Research Programmes” section. The membership of key committees in the SIRE governance structure (the Governing Board, The Executive, and the International Advisory Board) is listed below.
A major part of the SIRE investment is the appointment of new high quality Economics researchers, to strengthen and deepen the research base within Scotland. This is an ongoing process. The new appointments made to date are listed and profiled below. |
