As the capital of Scotland and a remarkably attractive city, Edinburgh
is itself a magnet for many international scientific activities. It is
also within easy reach of Scotland's spectacular countryside, and it
is rated as one of the most "livable" cities in the UK.  Edinburgh is
a natural hub for teaching and research within the whole of Scotland.
Moreover, within Edinburgh there are numerous users of advanced
database technology who are forming natural partnerships with database
research.
