Working with business and industry
We work with a variety of partners and in a number of ways to support business goals.
Our Business Development Team also helps academics form and sustain industry-academic partnerships for innovation and collaborative research and development funding.
For larger multi-disciplinary programmes, such as the Industry Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF), for example, we work in cooperation with Edinburgh Innovations for wider access to University expertise, facilities and resources.
