2007-2013 Programmes : ERDF Priority 1 - Research and Innovation
The aim of the Priority is to improve the competitiveness of the Lowlands and Uplands Scotland enterprise base through increased innovation and a fuller use of its RTD base.
It is recognised that there are already active steps to improve links between industry and the main sources of research in the region, commercialisation of university research, high-tech new starts and non-local collaborative research.
Please note that at present there are no plans for any further open calls for new funding applications for the Lowlands and Uplands Scotland 2007-2013 ERDF and ESF Programmes with the exception of Priority 3 ERDF.
The Programme Monitoring Committee will consider options to maximise the use of remaining funds and any under-spends at a future meeting. When utilised, it is envisaged that funds will be further targeted to add value to Scottish Government policy priorities, and the Managing Authority will liaise with key stakeholder organisations to commission eligible projects.
