Apply to attend a 5-day interactive interdisciplinary sandpit to develop novel low size, weight and power (SWaP) computing projects for UK defence and security applications. There will be a combination of days online and in-person. The sandpit will be an intensive, inclusive, interactive, and creative environment, supporting a diverse group of participants from a range of disciplines and backgrounds from across UKRI’s remit, to work together for 5 days. It is expected that 3 projects will be funded, sharing up to £3 million of total funding. Accommodation will be provided during the residential component of the sandpit, however, participants must make their own travel arrangements. Travel and subsistence costs will be reimbursed. Since this sandpit is partially residential, and where employers cannot help, EPSRC, in line with UKRI policy, will cover the costs of any additional childcare or caring responsibilities, which is deemed necessary during this period.

Participants for this sandpit will be invited from a broad range of disciplines including, but not limited to: - computer science - mathematics - engineering - physical sciences - social sciences - humanities.
