Innovation Fora
SPRITE+ Innovation fora aim to stimulate imaginative developments in trust, identity, privacy and security (TIPS) and to be responsive to new interdisciplinary needs and opportunities. These events, designed by SPRITE+ Members generally involve an invited group of academics and collaborators who are identified by the applicants to contribute to advancement of the of the new idea for the benefit of TIPS research and/or practice. Each forum will be focused on a deep dive into the innovation area with a view to achieving clear objectives that produce one or more outputs.

SPRITE+ funds Innovation Fora projects through applications and also runs our own.
