Description
This grant enables researchers to undertake interdisciplinary "discipline hopping" projects involving information and communication technologies (ICT). Researchers may either apply their ICT skills to a new field or bring expertise from another discipline into ICT research. The scheme is designed to foster new collaborations, develop cross-disciplinary skills, and benefit the broader ICT research community. Supported activities include skills training, cross-disciplinary research, and the development of new research questions or methods.
