The Scottish Funding Council
About Us:
The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) is helping make Scotland the best place in the world to educate, to research and to innovate. Investing around £2 billion of public money each year, SFC’s funding enables Scotland’s colleges and universities to provide life-changing opportunities for over half a million people.
Our support for university research means every one of Scotland’s universities is able to carry out world-leading or internationally excellent research. Our investment of over £120m to create innovation centres is making exciting things happen between industry and university research. Our work in widening access is bringing colleges and universities together in new ways and providing more people with more routes into learning and skills.
Scottish tertiary institutions are an important part of any strategy that aims to ensure Scotland remains a globally competitive and successful nation.
Our ambition is for Scotland’s universities and colleges to work as effectively as possible with global collaborators in academia, industry and other institutions; taking advantage of their international networks, their ability to build innovation capacity in Scotland and within their regional economy, and their institutional partnerships across the globe.
