*Applications are now open for the Software Sustainability Institute Fellowship Programme 2020! Deadline for applications is 29th October 2019.*
The Programme funds researchers and individuals who are passionate about improving research software use and/or development in their areas of work. We empower Fellows to talk to a wider audience about the role of software in their research domain, and to develop communities around the skills they learn. They can network with others who share their interests and learn new skills that benefit both themselves and their collaborators. Each Fellow is allocated £3,000 to spend over fifteen months. The funding is flexible to support activities that are beneficial to both the Fellows’ and the Institute's aims, for example to fund travel to conferences, to setup and run workshops, to nurture and contribute to communities of practice, and other activities. *How to apply* General information about the Fellowship Programme and the application process can be found on the Fellowship Programme website (_https://www.software.ac.uk/programmes-and-events/fellowship-programme_). You can also find a detailed blog post (_https://www.software.ac.uk/blog/2018-12-07-applications-software-sustainability-institute-fellowship-programme-2019-are-now_) on the application process for the 2019 Fellowship Programme which still applies for 2020. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing more tips on how to apply and experiences from our Fellows. Keep an eye out for those and save the date for our Launch Webinar which takes place on Friday, 11th October 2019 from 15:00-16:00 BST! *Help us spread the word* You can help us by: * Retweeting us: _https://twitter.com/SoftwareSaved/status/1176512521467047937_ * Forwarding this email to anyone who’d be interested in applying to the Programme! *If you have any questions, please contact Rachael Ainsworth, the Institute Community Manager at **[email protected]_**.* ------------------------------------------ The Carpentries: discuss Permalink: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/Tfcf1838f12cb67cf-M6d025a6e19a26cdd568bdc2a Delivery options: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
