The pollen project is to devise, create and maintain a network for Psychology lecturers. Based in Scotland, though with relevance internationally, this blog has been designed as a starting point for the network: a space in which lecturers and teaching staff in psychology and related disciplines can create databases of learning materials, share good practice and collaborate on teaching and learning projects.

The broad aims of pollen are to:
(1) Undertake and support small research and service development projects as proposed by Scottish lecturers in psychology.
(2) Organise seminars on teaching and learning in psychology.
(3) Submit research proposals for further funding on teaching and learning in psychology in conjunction with Scottish psychology departments.
(4) Create a website to promote the work of pollen.
(5) Promote and disseminate good practice in teaching and learning within psychology in Scotland.
