    Dear all,<br>
    <br>
    This message is to draw your attention to the Encompass scheme which
    RKES is running to provide funding to work with Scottish SMEs -
    typically &pound;5k, with potentially an additional &pound;5k underwritten by
    the EPSRC Impact Accelerator Account if the proposed project stems
    from work funded by an EPSRC research grant (active or expired).<br>
    <br>
    The funding can cover staff, consumables or facility access
    (including, for example, the Archie-West HPC). Once the final report
    is signed off the funds will be transferred to your nominated/agreed
    finance account within the department (e.g. your group account). <br>
    <br>
    There is about &pound;20K left in the Encompass account at present and as
    there is no application deadline, I encourage you to apply early.<br>
    <br>
    You will find more details on the scheme below and the application
    form and guidelines are attached.<br>
    <br>
    Best wishes,<br>
    <br>
    Paul<br>
