BioSKAPE Masterclasses

Type of projects funded: Development by SULSA Universities of Masters level training courses for graduates working in industry. Training courses should be developed in close collaboration with industry and a clear industrial demand within Scotland must be demonstrated.  This programme is co-funded by BBSRC and courses within the BBSRC remit are particularly encouraged.

 

An example of a Masterclass: A SULSA University could offer an advanced course on the theory and practice of confocal microscopy, which would be useful to academics and companies planning to engage or invest in projects that use this technology.

 

Number of projects available: 3 Masterclasses.

 

Eligibility: Employees from SULSA Universities.

 

Amount awarded: Pump-priming funding of ₤10 - 20K per course.  It is expected that these courses will become self-sustaining through course fees following completion of the award. This programme may be co-funded by the BBSRC in the event that projects have had previous BBSRC funding or are aligned to BBSRC’s strategic plan.
