What is the programme about
What is the programme about
The Fellowship Programme run by the Software Sustainability Institute (www.software.ac.uk) funds researchers in exchange for their expertise and advice. The main goals of the programme are to engage with individuals who are passionate about research software use and/or development. We help support them to understand better the challenges faced by their domains and help support them as ambassadors for better software practices in their areas of working and Institutions.
Being a Fellow also helps you develop skills and knowledge in the area of software sustainability, empowers you to speak on sustainability issues and network with likeminded individuals from a wide variety of research areas.
Each Fellow is allocated £3,000 to spend over fifteen months. The funding is flexible to support activities that are beneficial to both the Fellows and the Institute: for instance, to fund travel to conferences, to setup and run workshops, to organise software sustainability sessions at domain conferences, or to host, organise or teach at Software Carpentry or similar training events.
Fellows are drawn from a wide range of areas, experience, and career stages: visit www.software.ac.uk/fellows to read more about those awarded Fellowships in previous years.
The Fellowship is open to UK based applicants.
