ScotGov: European funding of more than £9.3m is being invested in new projects that will harness the economic potential of Scotland's world-leading research base and support the creation of 740 jobs, First Minister Alex Salmond announced last week.
 
On a visit to the University of Aberdeen, Mr Salmond said that new allocations of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) will be invested in projects that strengthen links between Scotland's research base & business community by ‘commercialising knowledge’.
 
The University of Aberdeen has been awarded £2.6m towards a new facility to accommodate Scotland's growing life sciences sector.  The project will support the transfer of research from the laboratory to the commercial world (Scotland has been named as one of the world's top 5 emerging locations for life sciences).
