PEER

Pools Engagement in European Research (PEER)

The main purpose of PEER funding is to support SINAPSE members in engaging with European research, for example through establishing network connections, showcasing our pool’s skills and capabilities and participating in specific networking activities both for policy influencing and project preparation, in addition to developing proposals and applying for funding under the European Framework Programme.

This funding is available only to SINAPSE members who belong to one of the seven partner Universities: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Stirling, and Strathclyde.

Eligible costs include:

• Travel and subsistence (at the agreed institutional rate) for attendance at networking events or consortium meetings.
• Grant writing consultation.
• Staff time or services employed specifically for EU partnership building.

European research proposals involving partnerships with Scottish SMEs are encouraged, however the funding must not be used for partner organisations' travel or subsistence costs.

Applications for PEER funding can be submitted at any time. Enquiries can be directed to kristin.flegal@glasgow.ac.uk.
