CIS - IE 2022 Research Collaboration Seed Funding

The School of Computing and Information Systems (CIS) and the Department of Infrastructure Engineering (IE) are pleased to announce the opening of the 2022 CIS-IE Seed Funding round.

This Seed Funding initiative aims to

  • Nurture new collaborations, leading to long-term research connections between CIS & ME.
  • Build new research capacity, particularly with a view to garnering external research funding.
  • Advance innovative research ideas, bringing together the expertise of CIS & ME researchers.

We are calling for proposals that meet the above goals, show significant potential for future funding submissions, and have potential for broad impact. Projects contributing towards one or more of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals are encouraged.
