TTOM Awards

TTOM aims to improve technology transfer between the SME base and Scotland's Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in a range of high growth markets, associated with new technology development. The aim is to enable technology transfer projects, particularly with a cross-sectoral and inter-disciplinary focus TTOM Grants will be paid directly to eligible SME companies on a competitive basis, who will then contract with relevant research groups in higher education institutes to provide the assistance required. The maximum level of grant will be £5000, paid at a maximum rate of 75%, with the remaining 25% being cash or in-kind contributions from the client company. Successful applicants will be sent an offer letter, which will contain a standard agreement regarding the terms and conditions of the grant and ongoing monitoring requirements. Support in finding appropriate academic expertise will be provided by Interface.
