What is an Ambassador?
Do you attend a conference regularly? Are you a member of a UK or International Association? Are you an expert in your field of research? Then you could become an Ambassador of Glasgow by organising a conference in the Glasgow area.
Holding a conference in Glasgow will allow you to showcase your work to your peers nationally and internationally. Organising the event in your own city will raise your profile and that of your institution, which can lead to research, business and funding spin-offs.
