Good news if you are a student or a member of staff at Edinburgh College of Art. There is some money available for innovation.

“These grants are intended to promote new initiatives in teaching, research and student support at Edinburgh, especially in areas where a small sum of money can have a big effect. These grants are funded through the generous donations made by our many staff, alumni and friends, and this year we have a limited pool of £100,000 to be distributed among students, staff, clubs, societies and University support services for a range of academic projects, teaching initiatives and student activities.

If you know someone, student, staff, club or society, who might benefit from an Innovation Initiative Grant please take the time to send them this email. We accept applications for innovative and unique projects costing up to a maximum of £5,000. So if you have a project you think we need to hear about then check out the Innovation Initiative Grants application form at:www.iig.ed.ac.uk (EASE log in required to view the site).”
