KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE AND COMMERCIALISATION

Knowledge Exchange and Commercialisation (KEC) is key to producing research with applications and impact outside of the research community.

On the Easter Bush Campus, there is a strong culture of industry engagement with over two thirds of senior scientists at the Roslin Institute engaging with companies. With dedicated support available for making industry-academic collaboration work, this enables it to play a key role in supporting the UK animal health sector.

The Roslin Institute has existing relations with approximately 100 companies in the animal health, genetics and feed additives sectors with its R&D pipeline primed by over £25 million in annual research income. 

The Data-Driven Innovation (DDI) Agri-Tech Hub on The University of Edinburgh Easter Bush Campus seeks to leverage existing world-class research institutes and commercialisation facilities to help the region become a global location of agri-tech and veterinary excellence. It will do this through a Campus-wide network that generates and collates, in real time, a multitude of local and global data such as veterinary activities, animal genetics, food species genetics, soil condition, weather and market drivers.
