Dr Haralampos N. Miras of the School of Chemistry has been awarded the Scottish Crucible 2013 Award for an interdisciplinary proposal entitled “Technological paradigm shifting in ammonia synthesis: Sustainability and socioeconomic implications” after establishing an interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues from the University of Strathclyde, University of Glasgow and an independent evaluation company, Kerlen Evaluation.

The award involves a small amount of money as well as seed funding by the Scottish Crucible in order to develop the idea further.  

Scottish Crucible 2013 is all about helping researchers to see the bigger picture.  It aims to help researchers think differently and send participants back to their work inspired.  The programme has been put together with an express goal of helping participants discover skills and attitudes likely to make research more innovative.  They want participants to return armed with a greater understanding of how science can benefit society and how thinking creatively can really make a difference to their work and career.
