More than 700 jobs are to be created in research centres across Scotland as the result of a £9.3 million funding boost from the European Regional Development Fund.
The investment was announced in Aberdeen by First Minister Alex Salmond.
The largest single support package, of £2.6m, has been awarded to Aberdeen University for a building for its life sciences innovation centre.
Funding support has also been secured for Edinburgh University's Scottish Environmental Technology Network, Napier's Institute for Wood Products, the Edinburgh Climate Change Centre and Scotland's Business and Technology Hub, a joint venture between Napier, Queen Margaret and St Andrew's universities.
