Multi-disciplinary research organization with strengths in crops, soils, land & environmental research, studying food, energy & environmental sustainability in Aberdeen and Dundee, UK. The James Hutton Institute brings together the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute and SCRI (Scottish Crop Research Institute) both of which have illustrious histories. The new institute was created on 1 April 2011. The new organization will make major, new contributions to the understanding of key global issues, such as food, energy and environmental security, and developing and promoting effective technological and management solutions to these. The James Hutton Institute is an internationally networked organization and operates from multiple sites, including two main ones in Scotland at Aberdeen and Dundee. It employs more than 600 scientists and support staff, making it one of the biggest research centers in the UK and the first of its type in Europe. The institute is one of the Scottish Government''s main research providers in environmental, crop and food science and will have a major role in the Scottish knowledge economy. James Hutton (1726 1797) was a leading figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, an eighteenth century golden age of intellectual and scientific achievements centered on Edinburgh. He is internationally regarded as the founder of modern geology and one of the first scientists to describe the Earth as a living system. His thinking on natural selection influenced Charles Darwin in developing his theory of evolution.

A public organization whose duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the Country. To this end, the activities of the organization are divided into macro areas of interdisciplinary scientific and technological research, concerning several sectors: biotechnology, medicine, materials, environment and land, information and communications, advanced systems of production, judicial and socio-economic sciences, classical studies and arts. CNR is distributed all over Italy through a network of institutes aiming at promoting a wide diffusion of its competences throughout the national territory and at facilitating contacts and cooperation with local firms and organizations. From the financial point of view, the main resources come from the State, but also from the market: even 30% of its balance sheet, an extraordinary result, is the result of revenues coming from external job orders for studies and activities of technical advice as well as from agreements with firms, contracts with the European Union and with the other international organizations. One of CNR institutional duties is the carrying out of research activities in pursuit of excellence and strategic relevance within the national and international ambit, through its network of research institutes. The network of CNR research institutes, which are distributed all over the national territory, is multidisciplinary: it has competences in the field of health and biology, of computer science, of environment and climate, of chemistry and physics, of behavioral, economic and social sciences.
