Buckingham partners with charity that funds women studying computing
The School of Computing at the University of Buckingham has partnered with a charity that funds women in computing.
OpenBright is a UK-based charity that provides grants to women studying computing and related technology subjects – and through this new partnership, eligible computing students will be able to apply for OpenBright Awards to support innovative research projects in areas including computer science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity and digital technologies.
This new partnership reflects the School of Computing’s commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion in STEM and to supporting women pursuing research and innovation in computing disciplines.
Dean of the Faculty of Computing, Law and Psychology, Professor Harin Sellahewa, explains, “We are proud to join OpenBright’s network of partner universities. This partnership aligns with our strategic goals to foster a diverse and inclusive environment in computing and STEM. By supporting aspiring women researchers, we’re helping to cultivate the next generation of innovators and leaders.”
Rashmi Perera, a PhD candidate in Computing at the University of Buckingham, says, "The opportunity to apply for OpenBright research awards will be incredibly valuable in supporting the development of university-level research and projects in computing and IT-related fields. I’m grateful for its partnership with the university as it will provide meaningful support to students in Computing, enabling us to further develop our projects and grow academically and professionally."
