Professorial Inaugural lectures

At Glasgow Caledonian University, we are building on Scotland’s proud history of innovation, intellectual curiosity and creativity to develop areas of international excellence in applied research. We have a strong tradition of conducting research that is economically and socially relevant - applying new knowledge to problems of global significance in areas such as Health, The Environment, Business, Social Justice and Inequality and Engineering.
