The
Economic and Social Research Council
The University of Edinburgh hosts the ESRC
Genomics Forum which coordinates and brings synergies
between activities in all the ESRC-funded centres on
genomics.
It also hosts Innogen
– the centre for social and economic research
innovation in genomics. It was formed in 2002 and is
a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh
and the Open University.
A third important research centre is the Centre
for the Advanced Study of the Arab World which was
established under the directorship of Professor Robert
Hillenbrand in 2006, as part of the UK’s language
based Area Studies Initiative. The major funding bodies
– the AHRC, ESRC, HEFCE & SFC awarded the
Universities of Edinburgh, Manchester and Durham £5
million to establish the Centre to substantially enhance
national capacity in Arabic and Arab Studies.
