Scotland Policy Conferences
Since lockdown, we have been organising our full programme of conferences online. We will continue online until further notice, to ensure we play our part in helping our employees and delegates to remain safe during this time. We are pleased that so many key stakeholders, policymakers and other interested parties - both old friends and new delegates - are taking up the opportunity to discuss public policy issues and network at our impartial seminars. New events are coming on to our conference programme all the time. So there are plenty of opportunities for you to join us if you haven’t already, from wherever you are. For booking-related queries, or information on speaking, please email us at info@forumsupport.co.uk or contact us using one of the following numbers: +44 (0)7951044809 / +044 (0)7503591880 / +44 (0)7538736244.

Next steps for Scotland’s city region deals: developing partnerships, delivering key projects and supporting economic development across Scotland

June 2019


This seminar brought together policymakers and key stakeholders to examine the next steps in delivering city region deals in Scotland.


Delegates assessed the progress in their delivery, examining how to ensure that implementation aligns with UK and Scottish Government priorities and strategies, as well as the next steps in shaping and developing the next phase of city region deals in Scotland.


Attendees also examined the next steps in developing proposals to meet local needs, as well as putting in place effective governance systems and promoting collaboration and the sharing of best practice across Scotland and the UK.


Sessions considered the delivery of key projects and the challenges to the development of infrastructure projects.


Further sessions assessed how to build Scotland’s skills base as well as enhancing the role of universities through the development of centres of research and excellence, and examined the latest thinking on how local authorities can lead on delivering local economic models, promote community involvement and deliver inclusive growth.
