The Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI) is housed in a £10.5million refurbishment of an 18th Century Old Royal High School at the University of Edinburgh.

A collaboration with Heriot-Watt and Edinburgh Napier Universities, it comprises an innovation suite, lecture theatres, seminar rooms, and large atrium space ideal for exhibitions and networking events.

The successful combination of heritage and sustainability has created an environment that fosters innovation, joint working and bold forward thinking. ECCI is expected to be a self-sustaining centre, generating income via the building, skills and executive education programmes. It is already generating income in the wider economy through innovation project work to achieve a low carbon economy in Scotland.

ECCI’s current European Regional Development Fund Low Carbon Innovation project is predicted to generate £15million turnover and 20 jobs for Scottish Small and Medium Enterprises by March 2015.
