About the ARCs

The Scottish Funding Council will host a launch event for the four Alliances for Research Challenges (ARCs):

  • Scottish Alliance for Food - healthy, equity and sustainability
  • Brain Health Alliance
  • Scottish Research Alliance for Energy, Homes and Livelihoods
  • Quantum Technologies ARC

The ARCs have been set up to connect research excellence in Scotland with national challenges. Broadly, the ARCs aim to:

  • Coordinate the research community across disciplines, sectors and institutions to foster collaboration
  • Leverage additional funding into the Scottish research system
  • Connect Scottish Government priorities with areas of strength within the publicly funded system
  • Foster Early Career Researcher communities, training and development in Scotland

ARCs Launch Event

The SFC ARCs launch event will be held on October 23rd 2023 in Edinburgh. This is a closed event but we plan to share a short overview of the event via our newsletter and on our website.
