Partnership
SAIC-funded research spans 92 different industry/academic project partners.
Projects
So far, SAIC has helped fund 76 collaborative research projects
Leverage Rate
Quadrupling return on investment by generating over £4 in industry and third-party funding for every £1 of public money
Industry-academic collaborations
Some of our projects have a lifetime of less than one year, while others are longer-term, multi-partner collaborations of up to three and a half years. Each project unites industry know-how with specialist academic expertise; something that SAIC works hard to encourage by helping forge the necessary connections.
Priority innovation areas
Our work is focused on catalysing and co-funding innovation in the areas identified by the sector as being top priorities. We call them our priority innovation areas – or PIAs for short.
Over the years, the industry’s priorities for innovation have evolved. Therefore, so too have our PIAs. This helps ensure that we continue to deliver maximum benefit from the combined investment being made. SAIC's three PIAs are 1: Finfish health & welfare, 2: Unlocking sector capacity, and 3: Shellfish and other non-finfish species.
