Scottish Sensor Systems Centre

This is an open call competition for collaborative projects into the use, or development of, sensor systems. Applications for projects from any sector are encouraged, and awards of up to £40K are available for suitable projects.

Application forms, eligibility information, and guidelines on submitting a proposal, can be found on the Projects section of the website.

Scope

This call is broad to encompass sensor systems in its most general terms. Examples of areas where sensor systems may be applied are:

• Intelligent Transport/Automotive
  Traffic sensing and signalling, driver/pilot information systems
• Environmental monitoring/Smart cities/Asset and Infrastructure management
  Distributed wireless and powerless sensors (scavenging); advanced visualisation for improved control, low cost sensor systems for wide deployment
• Smart Grid/Power distribution
  Feed (supply and load) resource sensing and monitoring; massively distributed sensing and control network for smart grid optimisation
• Defence
  Development of existing and future sensors for existing platform strategies; combination of sensor data (real time and historical) to generate 4D visualisations
• Point of care diagnosis/Assisted living/Drug discovery
  New/miniaturised surgery (desktop) equipment; improved drug delivery systems; improved drug testing capabilities (in vitro vs in vivo)
