Roslin Innovation Centre is part of The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (R(D)SVS), within the University of Edinburgh. The School strategy is focussed on solving One Health challenges, with innovation at its core.
Roslin Innovation Centre supports research innovation and engagement activity across all five of the School clusters - the five research divisions of the School and eight divisions within the Roslin Institute.
Beyond R(D)SVS, we actively collaborate with Schools across the University of Edinburgh which have association with A3 and One Health sectors. Primarily our main activity is with the other Research Institutes and Centres within the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine Institutes and Centres, Biological Sciences, and School of Geosciences.
Roslin Innovation Centre works closely with Edinburgh Innovations to ensure that early stage start-ups are nurtured and supported as they scale up and grow. We work closely with the business development team on Campus to identify those in need of support on their innovation journey, and to ensure they are linked into the appropriate support services available, for University Staff and for Students.
Roslin Innovation provides a home for innovation activity within the Easter Bush Campus Agri-tech Hub, and works closely with the other Data Driven Innovation (DDI) Hubs to participate in entrepreneurial schemes, joint events, collaborative research and course delivery.
Through DDI activity, we contribute to the innovation themes, events and activity within the City Region Deal led by the Edinburgh & South East Regional Enterprise Council Regional Enterprise Council, a partnership of six regional councils responsible for the delivery of a Regional Prosperity Framework for the South East of Scotland.
Roslin Innovation Centre is part of Midlothian Science Zone, which brings together the science and research entities co-located across the Bush Estate in Midlothian, with One Health being a central theme which links our activity.

Roslin Innovation Centre hosts monthly lunchtime seminars for tenants and members, on a variety business-related topics, such as funding opportunities, data security, R&D tax breaks, mental health awareness, and lab sustainability.
The seminars typically feature a short presentation followed by a Q&A session, with an opportunity for attendees to have one-on-one meetings with presenters afterwards. We encourage attendance in-person, to build engagement between tenant companies and individuals although can provide online access on request.
In partnership with Edinburgh Innovations, Roslin Innovation Centre hosts a drop-in centre for aspiring entrepreneurs once a month.
Knowledgeable experienced staff are on hand to offer advice and help to any budding entrepreneur, from exploring an idea's potential for a business venture, through to helping you follow the steps required to turn your business idea into reality.
These sessions take place on the fourth Thursday of the month from 10am to 3pm with drop-in at any time.
If any advice is required, outwith the period of drop-in session, please contact the Roslin Innovation Centre Director to arrange a meeting.
