Online webinar

Smart Data Research UK (SDR UK) is launching a new Fellowship programme to support bold, interdisciplinary research that uses smart data to help solve real world challenges.

Launching in July 2025, the SDR UK Fellowships will offer UK-based researchers up to £200,000 (FEC) to undertake innovative research which demonstrates the power of smart data to address a real-world challenge impacting the UK.

Smart data is generated through everyday digital interactions - including apps, social media, navigation systems and other connected devices. These data have the potential to transform our knowledge and understanding of real-world challenges, enabling us to discover novel solutions to complex societal issues.

What's on offer

SDR UK will fund up to ten projects, with awards announced in December 2025 and projects starting by 1 February 2026. All projects must be completed within 18 months.

In this webinar, SDR UK will: 

  1. Provide more information about the fellowships opportunity
  2. Discuss the application process
  3. Open for Q&A

This webinar will be recorded and made available to all participants, and closed captioning will be on.
