In SPRITE+ Phase 2, starting in September 2023, we have a much larger budget to support new research and collaboration-building, compared to our current grant. The activities in this conference will inform our decisions about how to spend those funds from 2023-27, so this is your chance to influence our future direction.
We are interested in activities that will provoke and inspire us, that will demonstrate innovative approaches, and that will highlight important aspects of future challenges in digital trust, identity, privacy, and security (TIPS).
We encourage applications from individuals and teams working across disciplines to tackle pressing TIPS challenges, including from established and early career academics, and those working in industry, public sector, and third sector organisations.
Many academics can draw on institutional support to cover travel and accommodation costs. However, for those whose institution cannot cover these costs, we have a budget to cover reasonable UK travel and accommodation for some academic SPRITE+ Members and Expert Fellows.

Please do not book any travel or accommodation until you have heard back from us about the outcome of your request (for presenters, this will be the same time we notify you about the outcome of your proposal).
