Hi
In relation to the
British + Irish Research funding, Rudi Lutz has correctly pointed out
to me that the funding can be for researchers/lecturers in Higher education institutes
visiting centres of excellence in UK/Ireland/Europe/or "other areas of interest". And
also a particular project doesn't have to be devised(thanks Rudi..I'll read the details
more carefully next time). This leads me to my next question......is there a recognised
research centre of excellence in Novice Programming? and if so ..where is it? If there
is we can put a joint proposal to visit this centre. The details of this are included
below.....please get back to me ASAP if you :
1. Know of a suitable
resaerch centre in novice programing
2. Are interested
in putting a joint proposal to visit this centre
Regards.....Enda
