Fraser of Allander Institute 50th Anniversary Conference

The Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI) marked its 50th anniversary with a two-day inaugural conference bringing together economists, policymakers, academics, and business leaders. The event highlights FAI’s role in shaping economic and social policy across Scotland while offering space for debate, reflection, and networking.

Hosted at the university’s Technology and Innovation Centre, the Institute welcomed over 200 attendees across both days for a combination of keynote and parallel sessions highlighting the scope and breadth of the Institute’s work.

The FAI was delighted to have The First Minister for Scotland address the conference on Friday, with other notable guests including The Auditor General for Scotland, Stephen Boyle and Strathclyde’s own Professor Sir John Curtice to close the conference.

The conference was a great success, and the FAI would like to extend its thanks to all the guest speakers, attendees, and TIC staff for their support in making the event a success.

All of the conference sessions were recorded and will be made available over the coming weeks - to keep in touch with these, please visit our conference webpage.
