RESEARCH INNOVATION SCOTLAND
There is no single entity that can solve the complex and interconnected problems we face as a society. To overcome the grand challenges we face, collaboration and co-ordination across the Scottish Research and Innovation landscape is paramount. Research Innovation Scotland strives to depict a whole system view, to act as a catalyst for intersectionality, toward a better future; to build back better.

Research Pools
Innovation Centres
“It is really exciting to see the SFC-supported Research Pools and Innovation Centres coming together for a shared purpose which will benefit research, the economy and society in Scotland and beyond. Scotland’s collaborative culture in research is a huge asset for us and connecting that with business-facing Innovation Centres and with Interface, our national hub connecting business and academia, will help us take on the challenges facing Scotland. SFC looks forward to working with the Research Innovation Scotland partnership.”
