Soillse PhD Scholarship

The University of Aberdeen is offering a Soillse PhD Scholarship for a project relating to Gaelic language planning in Scotland: three potential areas for research are offered.

Background

Following a successful proposal to the Scottish Funding Council, Highlands & Islands Enterprise and Bòrd na Gàidhlig, the Soillse initiative will promote an enhanced research capacity to inform public policy concerning Gaelic in Scotland.

The initiative is supported by SFC's Strategic Research Development Grant Horizon Fund scheme.

Activities and outputs will build upon, collaborate with, and transfer knowledge to existing efforts to maintain and revitalise Gaelic language and culture. Soillse involves a consortium consisting of the Universities of Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Edinburgh and the Highlands and Islands. The aims of Soillse are:

  •  To further develop a research capability in Gaelic language development for the benefit of the Highlands & Islands and beyond
  • To develop a national network, bringing in new researchers, linking with international research and influencing policy.
