Fossil Fuel Investment and Funding

The request was successful.

Dear University of Strathclyde
Many thanks for your consideration in reading this.
I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If however this request is too wide or too unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the act, you are required to advise and assist requesters.

In 2015 you answered a FOI request stating the funding the University has received from the fossil fuel industry as follows

Amount (These amounts cover various activities including research,
scholarships and conferences.)

2009/10
£36,159

2010/11
£185,245

2011/12
£94,060

2012/13
£124,150

2013/14
£561,916

Could you please provide an update on the most recent amounts of funding received from the fossil fuel industry?

In addition, could you please respond to the following queries?
- Does The University of Strathclyde have any annual investments directly in the fossil fuel industry (a full list of companies can be found on this list https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KuwTqT... ) ?
- Does The University of Strathclyde have a formal pledge to avoid such investments, both for present and future investments?

Many thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions,
I understand that under the Act, I should be entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
Sarita Rivas
