The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE)’s Post-Covid-19 Futures Commission was established to support Scotland in emerging as positively as it can from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Its aim was to support a better future for Scotland and to build a fairer and more resilient society, through addressing immediate challenges and longer-term policy and practice questions. It was also an opportunity to learn important lessons about our current processes and institutions that are informed by evidence, expertise and public dialogue.
Through taking advice and listening to the expertise of RSE Fellows and other contributors including those with lived experience over the last 18 months, the RSE is now ready to announce its findings. We would be delighted if you could join us.
