NFFDy Summer Programme 2023 'Data in Fluids' by NFFDy https://padlet.com/NFFDy/SP1_Cambridge Information on the first NFFDy Summer Programme, Cambridge, 10 July-18 August 2023 en-us 2023-01-11 11:09:03 UTC 2023-02-14 12:38:24 UTC hello@padlet.com How to apply NFFDy https://padlet.com/NFFDy/SP1_Cambridge/wish/2440663356 To participate in the Summer Programme, you must be accepted onto the team of a research project that has been selected for inclusion. At this stage, there are 3 options.
 
  1. The NFFDy fellows have proposed some projects, which are guaranteed to be selected. You could therefore approach the investigators to discuss joining their project.
  2. Some applicants for free places have also proposed new projects, and therefore you could similarly approach the proposers of any you are interested in.
  3. You could propose a new project of your own on a different topic.
 
The Proposals padlet lists all the fellows’ projects (the first 6) and new projects so far (the remainder). If you are interested in any of these, please email Nick Daish (ncd1@cam.ac.uk) as soon as possible, so that we can put you in touch.
 
There is also still time for (3), i.e. to propose a new project of your own, but you will need to act quickly as the deadline to submit proposals is 14/2/2023: email ncd1@cam.ac.uk, as above, with brief details of your research background and an outline of your proposal idea, and add it to the Proposals padlet. You will need a project team, ideally of 3 or 4 including yourself: we would try to connect you with relevant people who are already interested in the Summer Programme, or you can look for team members yourself.

For all projects, a detailed proposal (approximately 2 pages) is required by 14/2/2023 containing:
  • project title
  • a summary of the project, how it relates to the theme 'Data in Fluids' and the proposed activities during the Summer Programme (up to 500 words);
  • the members of the project team and the skills they bring to the project, both technical and other, and how this team is going to work together in a new way (up to 500 words);
  • the data that will be used in the project, and whether it will be generated before or during the project (or both), and in the latter case any additional resources needed (up to 200 words).
Email the proposal to ncd1@cam.ac.uk. The new projects will be ranked by a panel and selected to fill the remaining available places by 28/2/2023.

Please note the following.
  • The proposal selection criteria are (i) Research excellence, (ii) Relevance to the theme ‘Data in fluids’, (iii) Complementarity of the project team and (iv) Relevance to and diversity across the UK Fluids community
  • All members of the project team are expected to attend the Summer Programme. Any planned absences during the programme of more than one or two days should be noted in the ‘project team’ section.
  • Applicants are encouraged to discuss application with their PI, if applicable, before they do so.
