About SSSC
The SSSC performs world-leading collaborative research into sensor systems. Our systems approach to sensor related projects encompasses the fundamental gathering of the data by physical front-end devices, through the conversion of the data into information, and the presentation of that information in a manner that enables a decision to be made.
The SSSC has been funded by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and encompasses 8 of Scotland’s leading universities plus the collaborative research partnerships in engineering and software (SICSA). Through this extensive academic network, the SSSC can draw upon a pool of over 1400 scientists and engineers to assist in collaborative projects with industry.
The projects undertaken by the centre must be of a collaborative nature; either with industry or a similar commercial or governmental body. In order to deliver maximum value to the collaborators, they are required to contribute tangible resources to the project to work alongside the academics partners. Using this approach, close project relationships will develop leading to effective consortia capable of responding to future project funding calls.
The ultimate aim of the centre is to become self sustaining and an internationally recognised focal point for sensor systems knowledge and research.
