Collaboration Development Workshop - ISCF Digital Security by Design
Event Information
Description
Following the Collaborators' Workshop held on 26th Sept (presentations & videos available here), EPSRC/ESRC are running a Collaboration Development workshop on 22nd November 2019 in London to facilitate academia-industry and academia-academia collaboration ahead of the closing dates for the EPSRC and ESRC ISCF Digital Security by Design calls.
The calls need to be led by academic institutions. Industrial involvement, while not mandatory, is highly desirable and will be required for future competitions. Hence this workshop aims to have a mix of academic and industrial participants.
About the Calls
EPSRC call “ISCF Digital Security by Design Research Projects”
The call closes on 7th January 2020.
ESRC call “ISCF Digital Security By Design Social Science Hub+”
The deadline for expressions of interest is 15th November. While potential applicants are strongly encouraged to register interest by this date, not doing so will not disqualify them from submitting an outline proposal by the deadline of 12 December 2019.
The Digital Security by Design challenge was announced in July. This challenge, amounting to £70 million of government funding over 5 years, will be delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF).
