Open Call for Proposals

SUII is pleased to announce a new open call for proposals. Applications are invited from our member universities to run knowledge exchange programmes beginning in autumn 2018. Proposals should include academics and members of communities beyond academia, e.g. the public and voluntary sectors, business and industry, as well as bringing in international expertise.


Applicants should complete an online Expression of Interest, followed by a full application (deadline 25 May, 5pm). There will be opportunities to hear more about the programme and details of this specific call at one of our information sessions (see below).


Programme teams who have an established idea for a proposal they would like to develop are invited to attend our project design workshop to discuss ideas and hear tips from previous programme leads.
