Blue Sky Down to Earth Breakfast Event

Join us for “Blue Sky Down to Earth”, a live research breakfast event exploring how cutting-edge psychology research can transform the workplace. Enjoy coffee, conversation, and insights from Heriot-Watt University academics as they discuss how research can be applied to real-world challenges. This is a valuable opportunity to explore how academic research can be translated and transferred into workplace practice.

A sample of the featured research highlights:

• Dr. Pik Ki Ho explores empirical studies of art and neuroaesthetics, uncovering how our brains respond to beauty in art, architecture, and design. Her work reveals how thoughtfully designed spaces and visuals can enhance creativity, focus, and wellbeing at work.
• Dr. Melissa Pavetich investigates intergroup contact in the digital age — showing how meaningful, high-quality face-to-face and online interactions shape social connectedness, inclusion, and wellbeing in diverse workplaces.

This is a relaxed, inspiring morning of conversation, coffee, and collaboration- perfect for professionals, researchers, and anyone curious about the human side of innovation.

We look forward to welcoming you!
