Scottish Funding Council - Promoting further and higher education

The global reputation of Scottish universities is to be boosted by almost £14 million of additional funding for world-leading research.

The new money, provided by the Scottish Government, will be allocated to Scottish universities by the Scottish Funding Council to 

• deliver more high quality research in Scotland and help further improve the international standing of Scottish universities.

  The initiative was launched at the University of Edinburgh by Education Secretary, Michael Russell.
