SPRITE+ Global Partners Programme - Live Q&A session

Much of the current research on digital Trust, Identity, Privacy, and Security (TIPS) takes place in the context of developed western economics. Yet globally, countries with rapidly developing digital economies face significant research challenges in these areas.

To address this gap, SPRITE+ is inviting UK based SPRITE+ members to submit proposals for our “TIPS in Global Context: Identifying Untapped Research Opportunities” programme. The objective of the programme is to enable new scholarly collaborations between UK researchers from the SPRITE+ network and researchers from low- and middle-income economies.

Programme objectives and outcomes

The objective of the program is to enable researchers in low- and middle-income economies and UK researchers from SPRITE+ to kickstart new research collaborations via sponsored visits for the purposes of identification of untapped research opportunities in digital TIPS.

We are inviting UK-based SPRITE+ Members to submit proposals for short, pilot projects and exploratory work that will build relationships and generate new research ideas. Our scope is broad, but proposals must focus on context-specific ways in which digital TIPS challenges are managed, and harm is mitigated.

Live Q&A session

Join our live Q&A session to ask any additional questions you might have about the program you might have that aren’t addressed in the call document.

Please submit your questions ahead of time to spriteplus@manchester.ac.uk (there will be opportunities to ask questions on the day).
