The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the University of Stirling on receiving the Queen’s Anniversary Prize 2019; welcomes the recognition of the university's transformational and internationally-renowned aquaculture research; considers this accolade one of the most prestigious awards in the higher education sector; notes that this is the second time that the University of Stirling has won this award, the first time being in 2014, and that it was also recently named UK Sports University of the Year 2020, further cementing its distinguished reputation; applauds the university’s Institute of Aquaculture on its pioneering work to support the efficient and sustainable development of world’s fastest-growing food production sector and tackle global hunger; encourages the Institute of Aquaculture to continue its valuable collaboration with governments, regulatory bodies, industry, fish farmers and supply chains; recognises the socio-economic benefits to the local council area from the Institute's research and innovation and that these benefits are further supported by the Scottish Government’s £50.1 million contribution to the City Region Deal for Stirling and Clackmannanshire, and looks forward to celebrating the Institute of Aquaculture’s 40th anniversary next year.
