New funding available: Scottish Funding Council Follow on Innovation Voucher scheme

Scottish Funding Council in conjunction with Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise have developed a pilot programme for Follow on Innovation vouchers.

In this pilot phase the awards are specifically intended to encourage existing partnerships between companies that have previously collaborated with academia and received funding under the Scottish Funding Council Innovation Voucher awards scheme or through the Highlands and Islands Enterprise Business Innovation Grant (BIG) awards.

Applications for the follow on scheme can be submitted to

(i) continue the collaboration with the academic partner from the original Innovation voucher or BIG award

(ii) or to develop a collaboration in a new area with a research group drawn from a different department or institution.

Further information can be found on our funding section under Innovation Voucher Scheme Follow on Funding - Scottish Funding Council.
