Watch the debate on SPTV
As an amendment to motion S4M-05154 in the name of Alasdair Allan (Role of Scientific Evidence and Advice in Public Policy), insert at end "; notes with concern that, although the number of women graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects has increased in recent years, in Scotland only 27% of women graduates in STEM subjects work in the sector they graduated in compared with 52% of male graduates; understands that Scottish universities perform strongly in obtaining UK research funding and that, of the £4.4 billion of funding from research grants and contracts invested across the UK in 2010-11, Scotland received over £613 million, or 13.8%, of the UK total; acknowledges the comments of Professor Hugh Pennington that "if Scotland leaves the UK, its science will take a knock", and considers that Scottish universities are stronger and better together in the UK."
