Heriot-Watt University and Brewgooder BAME Partnership
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the announcement of a new partnership between Heriot-Watt University and the Glasgow-based brewer, Brewgooder, to encourage more black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) students to develop a career in brewing and distilling; believes that the bursary programme will start from summer 2021 with the aim of improving diversity in the brewing industry; notes that each successful student will receive £2,000 each year from Brewgooder for a total of four years, while studying on the BSc (Hons) Brewing and Distilling course based at the International Centre for Brewing and Distilling at Heriot-Watt University; further notes that the International Centre for Brewing and Distilling was the home of Scotland’s first black professor, Sir Geoff Palmer, who taught cereal science at the University and is an ardent campaigner for human rights and racial equality, and looks forward to a new generation of brewers and distillers truly representing Scotland’s multicultural diversity.
