Edinburgh Research and Innovation (ERI)
The University of Edinburgh is
very successful in commercialising major scientific advances,
discoveries, inventions and innovations generated by research.
In order to maximise the opportunity for effective
commercialisation, the University must have infrastructure in place
that facilitates, encourages and supports innovation, and Edinburgh
Research and Innovation (ERI) is the vehicle for achieving
this.
ERI is a subsiduary of the University and seeks to promote their
world-class research and commercialisation activities to potential
research sponsors and collaborators, licensees or investors and
assists entrepreneurs within the university who have a good idea or
potential product to set up a company to develop it.
