== Macaulay Institute ==

Founded in 1930, the Macaulay Institute is an international centre for research and consultancy on the environmental and social consequences of rural land uses.

Interdisciplinary research across the environmental and social sciences aims to support the protection of natural resources, the creation of integrated land use systems, and the development of rural communities.

With an annual income from research and consultancy of over £11M, the Macaulay Institute is the largest interdisciplinary research organisation of its kind in Europe.

It is one of the five Main Research Providers to the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD).

Currently some 80% of the Macaulay's income is related to the SEERAD commissioned research programme, principally on "Land Use and Rural Stewardship".

The 300 staff and postgraduate students are drawn from over 25 countries, and conduct research in Scotland, across Europe and internationally, with a wide range of partner organisations.

Our goal is that the research we undertake provides evidence that will help shape future environmental and rural-development policy both in Scotland and internationally.

The Macaulay Institute is actually a group of organisations, including The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute and its commercial subsidiaries Macaulay Research Consultancy Services (MRCS) and Macaulay Enterprises Ltd (MEL).
