HOT off the success of our last live event, Herald subscribers have another chance to quiz the experts on the key issues facing Scotland's Future.
We're now on the second part in our ten-part series, looking at the challenges and opportunities that face the nation in the days, months and years to come.
This week, it's the turn of oil, gas and energy supply.
Our aim is not to push a political angle, but to stimulate debate about the country’s options by providing a platform for expert knowledge and lively opinion.
Scotland’s Future will help fill the vacuum with articles from academics and other authorities on issues and debates as they are today, not as they were.
CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE DEBATE ON MONDAY, MARCH 7 AT 7PM
We started last month with an examination of one of the greatest changes in the independence debate – Brexit, and its implications for borders and trade if Scotland were to rejoin the EU while the rest of the UK remained outside it.
Throughout this week we're bringing you expert analysis on one of the greatest factors impacting the world today - the future of oil and gas and the move towards net zero targets - as well as how it impacts on Scotland's constitutional debate.
The debate continues on Monday with a virtual roundtable discussion, exclusively for Herald subscribers, hosted by former BBC Scotland political editor Brian Taylor.
This is your chance to put the questions to our experts.
Among our contributors on the night include Mairi Spowage, the director of the Fraser of Allander Institute and Ewan Gibbs, a lecturer on Global Inequalities (Economic & Social History) at the University of Glasgow.
Completing our expert panel are Kirsten Jenkins, a lecturer in energy, environment and society at the University of Edinburgh and David Toke, Director for post graduate research for the school of social science at the University of Aberdeen.
This special event promises to bring lively debate and discussion around one of the biggest topics facing Scotland’s Future.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
