About ECRR
ECRR is a consortium of Scottish organisations active in research relating to land, freshwater, coastal and marine resources, and their uses – including farming, forestry, aquaculture and recreation.
The activities of ECRR are overseen by The University of Edinburgh. In its early days, its members were largely based at the University’s campus at Easter Bush, south of Edinburgh; but now they include research institutions and departments from the length and breadth of Scotland, as well as such well-known names as RSPB Scotland and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Professor Stuart Monro
Scientific Director, ECRR
Dr Alastair Macdonald
Secretary/Treasurer, ECRR
The aims of ECRR are to improve mutual awareness between the member organisations; facilitate communication; provoke discussion; and promote collaboration.
It also provides an accessible source of expertise and information on scientific matters that affect Scotland, its people and its natural heritage.
ECRR achieves its aims through a low-cost, no-frills programme of lunchtime meetings and visits, as well as occasional workshops and fora.
The day-to-day work of ECRR is carried out by two executive officers, the Scientific Director and the Secretary/Treasurer.
