Organisations are invited to submit proposals for grant-funded activity aimed at bolstering cyber resilience across Scotland through a new CyberScotland Partnership Funding Initiative.
Funded by Scottish Government, in collaboration with the CyberScotland Partnership, grants of £5,000 to £50,000 are available for activities which deliver progress on specific aims and outcomes of The Strategic Framework for a Cyber Resilient Scotland.
With a focus on enhancing cyber resilience in specific target groups (listed below), applicants are encouraged to address these outlined areas of priority. Collaborative proposals are also welcomed, fostering the spirit of cooperation and knowledge sharing within the cyber security community.
By focusing on specific target groups, the Partnership aims to support initiatives which build cyber resilience capacity in the following areas:
- people for whom English is not their first language
- people living in rural and/or remote communities
- people living in areas of social deprivation
- disabled people and people with specific learning needs
- people from minority ethnic backgrounds and communities
To be considered, proposed activities must be concluded by Sunday 31st March 2024. Proposals must be submitted by 11:59pm on Monday 24th July 2023.
