Organisation Outline:
Founded in 1930, the Macaulay Institute is an international centre for research and consultancy on the environmental and social consequences of rural land 
uses. Interdisciplinary research across the environmental and social sciences aims to support the protection of natural resources, the creation of integrated
land use systems, and the development of sustainable rural communities. With an annual income from research and consultancy of over £11M, the Macaulay Institute is the largest interdisciplinary research organisation of its
kind in Europe. It is one of the main research providers to the Scottish Executive and currently about 75% of the Macaulay's income is related to commissioned research programmes,
principally on 'Land Use and Rural Stewardship'. The 300 staff and postgraduate students are drawn from over 25 countries, and conduct research in Scotland, across Europe and internationally, with a wide
range of partner organisations. Our goal is that the research we undertake provides evidence that will help shape future environmental and rural-development policy both in Scotland and
internationally.
