jiscri - The results
We have been notifying and sending out grant letters to bidders to the JISC Rapid Innovation call, also known as jiscri, this week and are now able to release some information about the call.
We got 94 bids for the call and have ended up funding 33 projects at a cost of £1.1m. Originally we had allocated less funding to this call but in response to the number and quality of bids we received it was agreed we were able to increase the level of funding available for these projects. So thank you to those that submitted proposals and showed interest in this programme activity.
The 33 projects still need to sign and return their grant letters before the projects are confirmed so we can’t give a full run down of them yet but will list them on this blog and the JISC website as soon as we can. We were able to fund projects in each of the priority areas specified in the call:
- Mashups
- Aggregating tags
- Semantic web and linked data
- Data search
- Visualisation
- Personalisation
- Mobile technologies
- Lightweight shared infrastructure services
- User interfaces
The projects will start in June and run for 6 months. We will be having a meeting for these projects and people interested in them in early September. An announcement about this should come from the IE demonstrator soon. The IE demonstrator will be showcasing the work of these projects so it is a good RSS feed to grab if you are interested in jiscri.
