The University has adopted the principles of the Young Academy of Scotland's Charter for Responsible Debate to support open and constructive debate.

The Young Academy of Scotland proposes nine general principles for responsible debate. These are grounded in an ideal of informed, respectful and inclusive collective decision-making.

This is designed as a starting point to support discussion amongst those who initially disagree, but who listen well to each other in pursuit of common ground and common cause. The principles can be adapted and refined for specific contexts.

Please familiarise yourself with the Young Academy of Scotland Charter for Responsible Debate Principles.
