  • Making the world smaller and bringing people together through online educational collaboration.
  • Encouraging a just and inclusive society by promoting good governance and human rights.
  • Providing Scottish-based artists and organisations an international context to work in and promoting the vibrancy and quality of the Scottish arts scene internationally.
  • Strengthening international scientific links for Scotland and stimulating debate about the impact of science on people´s lives and the environment.
