We are pleased to announce that the Scottish Funding Council has awarded us further funding to continue the Scottish Informatics & Computer Science Alliance (SICSA) research pool until July 2021. 

We now have a new series of funding calls open with increased support across our research themes with the aim to extend and expand our links with other research pools (SUPA/SULSA/SINAPSE etc.) and with different innovation centres. https://www.sicsa.ac.uk/funding/

To support students in SICSA, we have a new program of SICSA Research Scholars to undertake studies and/or research via Summer/Winter Schools attendance and/or research visits. 

For staff, SICSA can support, Academic and Research Distinguished Visiting Fellow (Academic or Industry), Research Theme Event Sponsorship, Postdoctoral and Early Career Researcher Exchanges (PECE), our European Leaders Programme and Education Event Sponsorship.  Full information on the funding opportunities can be found at https://www.sicsa.ac.uk/funding/.

The next deadline is April 30th, and we welcome applications for Research Theme Events which connect between SICSA themes or connect SICSA to other research pools. Submissions with commitments of matched funding from other research pools or innovation centres are strongly encouraged. Some of these events might aim to explore grand challenges while other events might focus of emerging research topics. This is also a great way to work with other Research Themes, SFC Research Pools and/or Scottish Innovation Centres.  

Please get in touch with Aileen (Aileen.Orr@glasgow.ac.uk) if you have any questions on these funding opportunities.
