Staff at 11 Scottish universities - including Glasgow and Strathclyde - will walk out in five consecutive days of strike action this week in a dispute over pensions and pay and conditions.
It is the third round of strike action of the academic year by members of the University and College Union (UCU), following 10 days of walkouts between February 14 and March 2 and three-day action in December.
The union said Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) pension cuts "forced through" by university employers will see 35% slashed from a typical member's guaranteed retirement income, and it is demanding employers revoke the cuts and re-enter negotiations.
