The East post of the sportscotland institute of sport regional network is based in Edinburgh at Heriot Watt University and is managed by Michael Cavanagh.
The institute network currently supports around 550 athletes and provides a platform for support to be agreed nationally, but delivered locally to athletes where they need it most. Click here to see which region athletes are supported in.
The key to the network's success lies in its close relationships with local partners and Scottish Governing Bodies of Sport which strengthens the support we provide.
