INNOVATION INITIATIVE GRANTS
Innovation Initiative Grants are ‘one-off’ contributions to support unique activities, or to provide ‘start-up’ funds for new initiatives which, if successful, are expected to become self-funding or which can thereafter be supported from other sources. (Download the attachment at the foot of the page to view the latest awards)
Innovation Initiative Grants are funded by the generous donations of Edinburgh alumni to The University of Edinburgh Development Trust, an associated charity set up to provide philanthropic support for the University. The grants are intended to promote innovation in teaching, research and student provision at The University of Edinburgh, especially where relatively small sums can achieve significant effect.
