Welcome to our latest newsletter.
It’s been another busy few months at CENSIS, with new projects announced and our business development and engineering staff out and meeting people at events across the country.
Ian Reid CEO
Our own CENSIS events calendar is filling up, with two new Spokes workshops announced for June in cross-cutting technology themes: Hyperspectral Imaging and Condition Monitoring. We’ve also started preparing for our second annual technical conference, which takes place in October, so look out for information in the near future on our speakers and on the themes we will be covering.
Ian Reid, CENSIS CEO
Tackling the mid-afternoon slump!
Our latest project sets out to tackle the office workers’ mid-afternoon slump! Cumbernauld firm GSS Ltd. and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) will develop a smart sensor system for air quality, under a project being funded by CENS
IS.
Together, the partners will create a smart building energy management system which can continuously monitor air quality, predict a looming drop in atmospheric oxygen, and take action to improve it. Read More
Skills & Training Opportunities
MSc Sensor and Imaging Systems
This one-year taught Master’s programme includes up to 20 fully funded places and covers tuition fees and bursaries for Scottish/EU students.
Read more about the programme, delivered with CENSIS and the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Applications are now open. Download the MSc brochure here
EngD in Sensor and Imaging Systems
As part of its remit to support training and skills development, CENSIS provides funding to support a number of studentships via the Engineering Doctorate (EngD) in Sensor and Imaging Systems. Read more about the EngD here. 
Placing an emphasis on industrially focused research in a commercial environment, EngD provides an extremely cost effective solution for companies of all sizes to engage in high-level R&D.
Research driven and directed by industry need, the programme is distinguished by the possibility to create a portfolio thesis of smaller industry-focused projects, thereby ensuring the programme always remains relevant and appropriate to the sponsor. Companies interested in understanding more about EngD are invited to contact Sian Williams, Business Development Manager for an informal discussion.
