Why is Full Economic Costing (fEC) important to this University?
The successful implementation of the fEC requirements is crucial if this University is to recover a greater proportion of the true costs of its research. This is essential to provide sustainability, including on-going investment in research infrastructure. Failure to implement these requirements to the satisfaction of the Research Councils will result in the University of Strathclyde being disallowed from submitting research proposals on a fEC basis with a resultant under recovery of our costs.
