Our city is becoming more digital – with things like smart transport, digital health services, and public safety cameras. We want to make sure technology helps everyone in Greater Manchester live a good life.  But how do we make sure it is used in a way that’s safe, fair, and trustworthy? We want you to help us shape a better future for Greater Manchester. 

We are delighted to invite expressions of interest for our Project Partner Challenge Grant. With up to £52,000 in funding available per project, each Project Partner Challenge is an opportunity for an organisation to commission research on a topic of need in the areas of digital trust, identity, privacy and security (TIPS).

Join us every third Wednesday of the month at 1:00pm (GMT) for a lightning 20 minute talk from an Industry or Academic expert followed by 10 minutes of Q&A.

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 TIPS in digital contexts.

We're giving you the opportunity to run your own event, funded by us for up to £1500.

We are excited to announce that our first Project Partner Challenge, with the City of London Police (CoLP), is now live.
