About Us

SNIFFER is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity, currently employing 15 staff in Edinburgh and one in Belfast. We provide a service to our members and partners to manage and deliver knowledge relating to the environment and quality of life. We offer these services within the boundaries of agreed topic areas and also at a more strategic level on request from our members.

SNIFFER’s approach must currently deliver public benefit and to do this we target our activities through policy makers and policy implementers within government departments and agencies, as well as through other partner organisations. We aim to broaden the customer base to encompass wider interests and a greater range of sectors.

Our expertise and benefits of membership pages give more details of the advantages of involvement with SNIFFER.

This conference brings together a variety of expert perspectives – from policy advisors, local authority officers, consultants and academics – to discuss the practical application of SEA and the outcomes and implications of using SEA as a vehicle to deliver high-level policy objectives. This conference sponsored by SNIFFER and ESRC (Economic and Social Research council) will make a vital contribution to discussion about the overall purpose and benefits of SEA, together with the efficacy of delivery mechanisms proposed to achieve overall Scottish governmental aims.
