<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: navy;">The note below comes
from David McBeth. He’s asking for a ‘trawl’ of activity for these
Scottish Innovation Centres. My own radar screen on this is the life
sciences, where I am aware of at least 7 differently-named, and
differently-combined groupings (some of which are overlapping) in the
West of Scotland! It looks like a collection of battleships. What
David McBeth is calling for is disclosure of activity</span><span

style="background: aqua none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">as

you could channel responses through Pat</span><span
style="color: black;">, we’ll report them on to RKES. We will then
also have a good sighting of the activity at Faculty level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">It looks like there
will need to be some prioritisation and development of strategy for
this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">By way of context, I’m
attaching the circular for the ‘call’, the expression of interest form
and a cut-down powerpoint from Paul Hagan, which gives some insight
into the plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Slide 5 should
Scotland’s BERD (Business expenditure on R&D) and Slide 6 shows the
HERD (Higher Education expenditure on R&D). The ploy is use the
providence of the HERD to make up the shortcomings of the BERD and
create a stronger economy. That’s enough ‘Adam Smith 101’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I expect that most of you will be aware of the
above competition from the SFC, which has a deadline for applications
of 20 June 2012.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are not aware of the call, check out <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sfc.ac.uk/news_events_circulars/Circulars/2012/SFC0612.aspx">http://www.sfc.ac.uk/news_events_circulars/Circulars/2012/SFC0612.aspx</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is already clear that there is a huge amount of
activity going on in HEIs across Scotland in relation to this call
(disproportionate to the number of SICs that are likely to be funded
across Scotland – I understand informally that approximately 5 in
total, each funded at c. £2M for 5 years is the SFC’s intent).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Universities Scotland via its RKEC and RCDG groups
is at present trying to identify and share knowledge about bids in
preparation, and so I would ask that you please let me (on behalf of
the ADPs and the Principal) know of any bids that you or staff in your
Faculty are working on – ideally in the format below:<o:p></o:p></p>

</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Depending on the level of activity within
Strathclyde on this issue, the ADPs may decide that we need to apply
institutional priorities (and obviously support as well) to any
Strathclyde submissions but we don’t see any point in designing a
process until we assess the overall level of demand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will of course share with you the collated
information about Strathclyde once I have it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
