Dear all,
I wanted to draw your attention to the new Fellowship Programme that is being launched by the Software Sustainability Institute.
I was part of the Agents Network that preceded this programme and I've found it really useful. If successful in your application they provide you with £3000 towards conferences over a period of 18 months. What could be better than that?!
Please see below or follow the link for further details. Apply quickly because if they have too many applications they'll initiate a cut of. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions.

Best wishes,
Kathryn
---Funding for travel and more: the new Fellowship programme---
In August this year, the Software Sustainability Institute will launch a
Fellowship programme that will fund researchers in exchange for their
expertise and advice. The programme will build on the success of the
Agents' network and will share the same goals: gathering intelligence
about research and software from all disciplines, and encouraging
fellows to develop their interests in the area of software sustainability.
Each Fellow will be allocated £3000 to spend over 18 months. The funding
will be flexible to support activities that are beneficial to both the
Fellows and the Institute: to fund travel to conferences, to set up and
run workshops, to organise software sustainability BoFs at domain
conferences, or to host or teach at a Software Carpentry bootcamp.
Recruitment of about 15 Fellows will start in August. A launch event in
early September will provide an introduction to the programme and will
give researchers the opportunity to ask questions in person (or
virtually, since the event will be webcast), as well as talking to
current recipients of the fellowships and members of the Institute team.
--How to apply--
Recruitment will open in August and will run through to mid-September.
First stage applications will be made through an online form. The
leading applicants will be invited to an event where a final selection
of the Fellows will be made.
--Who's eligible--
We are looking to recruit Fellows across a wide range of experience, so
we're looking for anyone from PhD students to Professors. Applicants
must be working in a research organisation based in the UK.
--More information--
More information will be made available on the Institute's website over
the coming weeks. Keep an eye on our Twitter or news feed for the latest
news.
