Call for Proposals 2023-2024

Open Call

The Scottish Universities Insight Institute (SUII) is a joint venture of Higher Education Institutions, which provides financial and logistical support to knowledge exchange projects aimed at improving policy and practice in Scotland and beyond.

The Call

The next call for proposal will be an open call with applications welcome on all topics.

Application criteria

Applications are invited from teams whose composition reflects the multi-discipline and multi-sector remit of the Institute. Applicants must include members from at least two SUII partner universities[i].

Project teams should include academics and policy makers and practitioners. Ideally non-academic partners will be involved in the development phase of proposals to help ensure they are demand led. SUII projects also offer the opportunity to draw on international expertise and experience, which will be particularly important in this call.

[i] Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow School of Art, Heriot Watt, Strathclyde

Application process

Applicants must submit an Expression of Interest prior to submitting a full proposal. Expressions of interest are invited by 20 October, with the deadline for full applications on 22 November (5pm). Proposals will be considered by SUII’s Programme Committee in December. Projects are anticipated to begin in the late winter/ early spring of 2024. It is anticipated that projects will run for around six months.
