[OSGeo-UK] SSI Fellowship

[Barry Rowlingson]

The Software Sustainability Institute is a UK-based group funded by UK
Research Council money and offers fellowships to academics to promote
reproducible research and better software - one of their mottos is
"Better Research Through Better Software", and I was wearing that
t-shirt for my talk at FOSS4G last week!

The Institute is funding another round of fellowships for 2014,
applications close on Friday (but its a fairly short form) and I think
a lot of their goals overlap with OSGeo goals in the open software
space. You'll get £3000 for activities such as conferences (which
could get a UK person to Portland for FOSS4G 2014!)

More details are here:

there are some restrictions on applicants (such as they should be
working in UK-related research at an academic institute) but otherwise
the current bunch are a motley crew of assorted scientists (including
social science), non-scientists (humanities), developers and
programmers.
