EFI funds student research through our Student Research Projects scheme. These awards aim to support our student community working on ambitious and multidisciplinary projects that can contribute to knowledge and capacity building in Data Driven Innovation across the City of Edinburgh and beyond.
We also support post-graduate students through our internal affiliation programme, which aims to promote and help researchers who would like to develop their interests in or are already working on areas close to our themes (Creative, Data Civics and Gov-tech, Financial Services and FinTech, Tourism and Festivals, Future Infrastructure, Ethics of Data and AI). The guidelines and application forms are available on our Sharepoint here.
Student awards and projects 2021/2022
In A.Y 2021/2022, the panel agreed to support six interdisciplinary and innovative projects across all the three Colleges. The selected projects reflect EFI’s ethos with data-rich and challenge-led proposals that include co-design of the research questions and/or co-create the final outputs with external partners, including industry, the public sector and the wider community. They also relate to EFI’s key research programmes (Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence, Future Infrastructure, Creative, FinTech and Financial Services, Tourism and Festivals, Gov-tech and Data Civics).
The six student awardees for 2021/2022 are from different schools and disciplines. Read our news story about the student awards here.
