RESEARCH INNOVATION SCOTLAND
The SFC Scottish Research Pools are collectively coming together with our SFC-funded partners, the Innovation Centres and Interface, to intensify our efforts around interdisciplinary research and innovation to support economic recovery and societal change. Within this, we will continue to facilitate collaborative research and development working across the sectors. See our future plans and how to get involved.

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.”

The RIS represents a new pan-Scotland collaborative initiative specifically addressing and promoting cross-disciplinary research and innovation. An initiative that will facilitate and accelerate the exploitation of the world-class fundamental and applied research conducted across Scotland’s Research Pools for societal and economic benefit.
