Scotland’s prestigious awards showcasing business–academic collaboration are now open for applications – and there are two inspiring new categories.
The Scottish Knowledge Exchange Awards, organised by SFC-funded Interface, are now in their 11th year. After celebrating their tenth anniversary at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, the 2026 awards will take place at the University of Stirling’s iconic MacRobert Arts Centre.
The new categories unveiled by the organisers for next year’s awards are Trailblazing AI Collaborations and Research and Innovation in Digital Health and Social Care. The second category has been developed in partnership with two of Scotland’s national innovation centres; The Data Lab and The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre.
The awards have an enviable track record of attracting high quality entries from across Scotland, and 32 individuals, teams and projects were shortlisted for last year’s event.
Find out all about next year’s event, including the full list of categories and how to apply on the Interface website.
