SSI are not currently running the Open Call. Updates and future dates will be published on their website.
The Software Sustainability Institute’s Open Call for Projects provides expert advice and consultancy on software development, adoption and use of infrastructure, and development and support of a community of users and developers. Researchers (including PhD students) from any discipline can submit proposals to improve software they are developing, from taking prototypes forward to maintaining a mature product.
