Request

Request Received: 17 August 2023

I am writing to you under the provisions of The Freedom of Information Act 2000, which enables public access to information held by public authorities. I am kindly requesting information regarding funding applications made by the University of Strathclyde and NMIS (National Manufacturing Institute Scotland) in relation to roles aimed at supporting SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) within Scotland and the UK.

Specifically, I am seeking information about any funding or grants that have been applied for in the past three years, with a focus on roles such as SME Advisors or similar positions that are dedicated to the development, promotion, education, and assistance of SMEs in the region. It would be very helpful if you could provide details about whether these funding applications were accepted, rejected, or funded.

Any relevant funding applications that either of these organisations have been involved with (including as a project partner), funding applications where either of these organisations were the lead applicant, and applications that have involved both of these organisations.
