Freedom Of Information
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 requires Scottish public authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme.
As a subsidiary company of the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Innovations Limited (EI) has adopted the Model Publication Scheme 2015 produced by the Scottish Information Commissioner.
This scheme has the Commissioner’s approval until 31 May 2019.
EI Freedom of Information Publication Scheme
View the EI Freedom of Information Publication Scheme.
The purpose of the Guide to Information is to:
- allow you to see what information is available (and what is not available) in relation to each class
- state what charges may be applied
- explain how you can find the information easily
- provide contact details for enquiries and to get help with accessing the information
- explain how to request information we hold that has not been published.
Other relevant FOI Publication Schemes
EI acts as a Freedom of Information Publication Scheme administrator for other University of Edinburgh subsidiary companies:
- Edinburgh Technology Fund Limited
- Research into Results Limited

Further information regarding the Freedom of Information Act (Scotland) Act 2002 is available on the Scottish Information Commissioner’s website.
Are you interested in collaboration?
At the University of Edinburgh, we enjoy a strong ethos of research without boundaries. Across our five campuses, researchers share a strong sense of identity and common purpose.
Many STEM researchers tell us they wish to collaborate across disciplines and perspectives but lack the confidence to scope relevant SHAPE inputs, understand which approaches might work best or identify the right collaborators for a new piece of research.
Too often, social sciences, humanities and the arts are an afterthought. Sociologists, lawyers, designers or ethicists are brought in to facilitate the successful roll-out of a new treatment, service or product, but once it has been designed. Use this website to bring SHAPE researchers onboard early on.
