Edinburgh College of Art’s Research Folios 2014-2021
Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) submitted 83 portfolios to the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021). This is a selection of the outputs submitted to the exercise. The portfolios articulate the research process from an originality, significance and rigour perspective. They contain a number of images, links to archived press clippings and links to underpinning published research. The ECA portfolios span three UoAs (C13: Architecture, Built Environment and Planning; D32: Art and Design – History, Practice and Theory, and D33: Music, Drama, Dance. Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies) and demonstrate the range and depth of the School’s research expertise carried from 2014 to 2021.

“We Have Great Stuff” Colouring Books
The University of Edinburgh as well as having great students and staff, has great stuff. Since its very beginnings, the University has collected books, art, archives, manuscripts, musical instruments and objects to inspire its community in learning, teaching and research. The illustrations in these books are inspired by items and images within the collections and were collated by students during the 2019 Festival of Creative Learning Week, a 2021 Student Experience Grant project, and by staff in the Information Services Group.
