4.3.4 Capacity

One of the key issues is the lack of any academic focus currently available in Scottish Universities that concentrates upon teaching and research of industrial archaeology and the archaeology of Scottish rivers, canals and navigations. This concern is recognised by Scottish Canals who are developing links with universities. It is hoped that a well-developed research agenda could kick-start interest within higher education institutions.
