These are all the projects awarded by ISSR Grants in 2021. Below are the recipients.
Completed projects
Research project
Groundwater resources face increasing pressure from consumption and pollution. This project developed methods and tools for integrated groundwater management and monitoring in Europe.
Research project
Delta communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. This project looked at the links between ecosystem services, human health and wellbeing and projected how these might evolve over the coming decades in the light of varying policy contexts.
Research project
Small water supplies in Scotland are less likely to meet drinking water quality standards and likely to be managed by communities or individuals who may need support. We looked at how other countries manage small rural water supplies, to guide their governance and management in Scotland.
Following the consideration of applications for Interdisciplinary Incubator Grant funding, we are delighted to announce the successful recipients.

Stigma of Smell: The co-evolution of social exclusion and the legitimacy of the deodorant industry
The funding will support the creation of a comprehensive data set with the involvement of an archival service for research, leading to a peer-review journal. It is anticipated this will lay the foundation for larger research grant applications and presenting full findings at the Academy of Marketing 2022 conference. The research aims to analyse advertisements from the early days of the deodorant industry to the present to understand how social exclusion by means of stigmatisation takes shape in tandem with social inclusion, or de-stigmatisation.
