Call

*Sent on behalf of Professor Billy Kerr, Chair of the Digital Campus 
Sub-Committee and Partnership Contributions Sub-Committee, aligned to 
the University's Strategic Technology Partnership*

Dear Colleagues,

The University of Strathclyde has appointed Capita as its Strategic 
Technology Partner.  Capita's role is to utilise their technology 
experts' and partners' knowledge, innovation, and ideas to help the 
University implement an ambitious programme to transform its information 
systems, services, and capabilities over the next five years.

A further key feature of this partnership is our additional focus on the 
University's strategic objectives and outcomes.  To this end, a joint 
Partnership Contribution Fund has been created with the University, to 
allow the support of research, teaching, and knowledge exchange 
activities.  This contribution to the University's strategic outcomes 
will produce valuable business benefits for Capita, the University, and 
other collaborative partners, as well as enhanced educational and 
employability benefits for students and graduates.

In the first year of the Partnership, funding has been aligned to *PhD 
research studentship support* at the University of Strathclyde starting 
in academic year 2014/15.  This communication now alerts colleagues to 
the first call for studentship proposals in relation to this support.

The focus of the proposed research should be in line with the 
University's research strengths and priorities, and connected to 
Capita's business interests.  The attached document provides further 
details, alongside a suggested mapping to academic research disciplines.

In addition to Capita business alignment, the following will be used in 
the adjudication and ranking of bids: (i) research excellence; (ii) KE 
and wider impact potential; (iii) multi-disciplinary features; (iv) 
vision for continuity and future research support; (v) aligned PhD 
student excellence (if relevant); and (vi) to allow the levels of 
overall support to be maximised, with the limited available funds, 
indications of any potential Faculty- or Departmental-level gearing.

Proposals documents should be up to 2 x A4 pages in length.

Deadline for submissions: 20 November 2013

Submissions should be made to informationstrategy at strath.ac.uk 
<mailto:informationstrategy at strath.ac.uk>

Please distribute within Faculties and Departments as appropriate.

Kind Regards,

Yvonne Lindsay
