QMU Innovation Fellowships

Queen Margaret University has a long-held reputation for producing excellent research, encouraging innovative thinking and building regional and international partnerships with industry and the third sector.

In response to an unprecedented change in the research landscape QMU has been exploring how we pursue UK opportunities for more proactive exploitation of potentially overlapping interdisciplinary approaches and funding.

In 2019 we awarded the first QMU Innovation Fellowships to researchers to explore and develop a range of projects with the potential to have significant health, cultural, economic and environmental impact. The appointment of QMU Innovation Fellowships is pivotal in helping us maximise all opportunities to engage with the UK Industrial Strategy and Industrial Challenge Fund.
