Heriot-Watt University

Heriot-Watt University is a research‑intensive international university headquartered in Edinburgh, operating campuses in Scotland, Dubai and Malaysia. Its Edinburgh campus hosts the UK National Robotarium and a 165‑acre research park that enables industry co‑location and access to specialist labs; the GRID hub and dedicated incubation programs provide mentorship and enterprise support. Partnerships such as the Lyell Centre with the British Geological Survey embed public‑sector and industry collaborators on site and create direct pathways to joint research and talent pipelines. Research draws support from UK and Scottish government programmes and UK Research and Innovation councils, alongside the Scottish Funding Council. A dedicated team within Research and Enterprise Services supports IP, licensing, spinouts and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.
