Research and leadership projects
The Laidlaw Leadership and Research Programme provides a unique opportunity for scholars to develop research and leadership skills. After completing two summer projects, focused on research and leadership, scholars are encouraged to share their results with the wider public.
All scholars produce a poster of their research project and a video of their leadership-in-action experience, amongst other outputs.
Past research projects
You can see examples of other work created by St Andrews Laidlaw scholars on the main Laidlaw Scholar Network.
