📍Fraser of Allander Institute, University of Strathclyde
The Fraser of Allander was founded in 1975 with the aim of establishing a dedicated economics research institute focussed on the Scottish economy.
Today the Institute is a leading independent economic research institute based at the University of Strathclyde.
The FAI is different from traditional academic institutes in that it combines internationally renowned researchers with knowledge exchange specialists who have significant experience from the public and private sectors.
This ensures that the Institute’s analysis is not only cutting edge, but delivered in a way which is accessible and relevant. Institute staff are regularly called upon to provide independent briefing and advice to government, parliament and industry.
We have an excellent reputation for independence and impartiality. This ensures that our studies carry significant weight and impact amongst the business and policy community.
