About Research & Enterprise Services

---

As the research and knowledge transfer support unit for Heriot-Watt we provide a range of pre-award and commercialisation services to help our academic colleagues increase their chances of success in attracting research contracts and awards to the University and in ensuring the effective commercialisation of the research base .

Heriot-Watt has a well established reputation for working closely and successfully with industry and policy makers to apply and exploit knowledge created here.   The impact of its research on economic development, as well as in ensuring financial benefits for the university in the long-term, is something in which the University takes great pride.

In RES we believe that our integrated team approach to knowledge creation, transfer and exploitation reinforces that reputation and makes it easy for colleagues and for clients to work with us.
This website will give you an initial idea of the services we offer.  All the routine services of a research-active university are here but there may also be ones that are new to you and we'd be happy to take you through some of those or simply explain how the Heriot-Watt processes work and how everything interacts to create and effective and supportive environment for your research.
