Expert Fellows

Our call for Expert Fellows from academia and professional practice is now open. We are seeking new Fellows to join a diverse group of experts, each bringing creative thinking to SPRITE+ activities, and together providing a broad and challenging range of viewpoints on trust, identity, privacy and security in digital contexts.

Meet our Expert Fellows!

Our academic Expert Fellows enable SPRITE+ to develop a multidisciplinary approach to realising its vision. Fellows provide intellectual leadership, take a leading role in setting and exploring Challenge Themes, and help bridge the gaps between diverse cognate groups and networks.
Our non-academic Expert Fellows are champions for research engagement within their organisation and sector, play a key role in setting and exploring Challenge Themes, provide advice on industry engagement, act as expert advisors (for instance, in the review of research projects), and support impact generation.
