Changes to Pools Engagement in European Research (PEER) funding
SICSA is pleased to announce that
SFC has recently approved new guidelines for our Pools Engagement in European Research
(PEER) funding; making the funding more widely accessible to Computing Science
and Informatics academics and allowing academics to apply for much larger
awards (up to £10,000).
The PEER funding enables SICSA to
provide support for researchers in Informatics and Computing Sciences at SICSA
institutions to boost participation in European projects. We support proposals from SICSA
academics to establish network connections, showcasing their skills and
capabilities and participating in specific networking activities both for
policy influencing and project preparation. In addition we support project
preparation work and for each level of funding we expect increasing amounts of
SICSA-wide involvement and ...

Open Data Day 2013 - Saturday 23rd Feb
Open Data Day events are happening all over the world on International Open Data Day, but Edinburgh University will be hosting one that's a wee bit different! The organisers would love to hear from non-technical people as well as developers, particularly if you represent a grassroots organisation and want to have a say in the future of services that are created to help you. After all, they'll be more useful if you tell the developers what your problems are.
The event is free and organised in conjunction with the Open Knowledge Foundation. It will include several presentations, followed by group discussions, impromptu lightning talks and end with networking. For further details on the event including the full ...
