SNIFFER'S KEY STRENGTHS - what our stakeholders say about us

"SNIFFER is seen as a credible, independent authority in environmental research.  This position of authority stems from the funding and involvement of government departments and agencies and the scientific rigour of research undertaken."

"SNIFFER is seen as providing good value for money and provides research that has benefit beyond the needs of individual organisations, extending to the network of organisations and through our influence on policy to the public at large."

"SNIFFER has been seen to be highly successful in bringing together a range of partners from different fields who would not necessarily collaborate were it not for SNIFFER."
