SPRITE+ 2: The Security, Privacy, Identity and Trust Engagement Networkplus (phase 2).

数字技术和服务正在塑造我们的生活。工作、教育、金融、健康、政治和社会都受到影响。它们还带来了与系统和数据的安全和信任相关的复杂挑战。因此，TIPS（信任、身份、隐私和安全）问题是我们采用新技术的核心，对我们的经济繁荣和公民福祉至关重要。识别和解决这些问题需要一个连贯的，协调的，多学科的方法，在中心强大的利益相关者关系。SPRITE+是一个沟通，参与和合作的工具，为参与研究，实践和政策相关的TIPS在数字环境中的人。自2019年推出以来，我们已成为英国最广泛的跨学科、跨行业数字TIPS专家网络的联系点。SPRITE+（“SPRITE +2”）第二阶段将继续建立我们的会员资格，同时扩大我们创新的广度和深度，并通过积极参与加深我们的影响力。SPRITE+2将有以下目标：1.扩大我们的TIPS社区，利用国家和国际TIPS社区的专业知识和合作潜力2。确定并优先考虑未来TIPS研究的挑战3.探索和发展优先研究领域，以提高我们对未来全球TIPS挑战的集体理解4。通过沙坑，行业主导的电话和水平扫描刺激创新研究5。深化与跨部门TIPS研究最终用户的接触，以加速知识交流6。了解、告知和影响区域、国家和国际层面的政策制定和实践。所有工作包将由PI（Elliot）领导，以确保建立联系并发挥协同作用。每个子工作包将由管理团队的一名成员领导，并由我们的专家研究员和项目合作伙伴提供支持。WP 1开发网络我们将提供一系列旨在扩展、拓宽和参与网络的活动，从专家会议和研讨会到学生训练营和国际会议。WP 2与利益相关者互动，以加强知识交流并产生影响。我们将大大加强我们有目的的参与在SPRITE+2中的活动。这项活动将包括一个新的商业智能功能和PP参与赠款，旨在加强研究人员和知识产权持有人之间的相互理解。WP 3识别，优先考虑，并探索未来的TIPS挑战我们将选择，然后调查未来TIPS的优先领域。根据我们迄今为止在SPRITE+中所做的工作，我们预先确定了两个领域（数字城市中的TIPS;值得信赖的数字身份），并在SPRITE+2之前确定了另外两个领域。通过水平扫描，沙坑和行业主导的电话，我们将引导创意通过创新管道，确保SPRITE+2以未来为重点。跨领域活动第一个跨领域活动将加速TIPS研究转化为公共和私营部门最终用途的政策和实践。SPRITE+和其他DE Network+的经验表明，一个新的网络需要多年的持续和大量的努力来增加成员，并与利益相关者建立富有成效的关系。在SPRITE+2赠款中，我们将立即启动并最大限度地发挥额外四年资金的影响。成功的业绩记录，完善的团队和一系列雄心勃勃的新计划为2023-27年的强劲交付奠定了坚实的基础。

Digital technologies and services are shaping our lives. Work, education, finance, health, politics and society are all affected. They also raise concomitant and complex challenges relating to the security of and trust in systems and data. TIPS (Trust, Identity, Privacy and Security) issues thus lie at the heart of our adoption of new technologies and are critical to our economic prosperity and the well-being of our citizens. Identifying and addressing such issues requires a coherent, coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach, with strong stakeholder relationships at the centre.SPRITE+ is a vehicle for communication, engagement, and collaboration for people involved in research, practice, and policy relevant to TIPS in digital contexts. Since launching in 2019, we have established ourselves as the go-to point of contact to engage with the broadest UK network of interdisciplinary, cross-sector digital TIPS experts.The second phase of SPRITE+ ('SPRITE+2') will continue to build our membership, whilst expanding the breadth and depth of our innovation, and deepen our impact through proactive engagement.SPRITE+2 will have the following objectives:1. Expand our TIPS community, harnessing the expertise and collaborative potential of the national and international TIPS communities2. Identify and prioritise future TIPS research challenges3. Explore and develop priority research areas to enhance our collective understanding of future global TIPS challenges4. Stimulate innovative research through sandpits, industry led calls, and horizon scanning5. Deepen engagement with TIPS research end users across sectors to accelerate knowledge Exchange6. Understand, inform, and influence policy making and practice at regional, national and international levelThese will be delivered through four work packages and two cross cutting activities. All work packages will be led by the PI (Elliot) to ensure that connections are made and synergies exploited. Each sub-work package will be led by a member of the Management Team and supported by our Expert Fellows and Project Partners.WP1 Develop the NetworkWe will deliver a set of activities designed to expand, broaden, and engage the network, from expert meetings and workshops to student bootcamps and international conferences.WP2 Engage stakeholders to enhance knowledge exchange and deliver impact.We will be greatly enhancing our purposive engagement activity in SPRITE+2. This activity will include a new business intelligence function and PP engagement grants, designed to enhance mutual understanding between researchers and stakeholders.WP3 Identify, prioritise, and explore future TIPS challengesWe will select and then investigate priority areas of future TIPS. Two areas are pre-scoped based on the work we have done so far in SPRITE+ (TIPS in digital cities; trustworthy digital identities) with a further two be identified during the lead up to SPRITE+2.WP4 Drive innovation in researchThis WP concerns the initiation and production of high-quality impactful research. Through horizon scanning, sandpits and industry-led calls, we will steer ideas through an innovation pipeline ensuring SPRITE+2 is future focused.Cross cutting activitiesThe first cross-cutting activity will accelerate the translation of TIPS research into policy and practice for public and private sector end uses. The second focuses on mechanisms to facilitate communication within our community.The experiences of SPRITE+ and the other DE Network+s demonstrate that it takes years of consistent and considerable effort for a new network to grow membership and develop productive relationships with stakeholders. In SPRITE+2 grant we would hit the ground running and maximise the impact of four additional years of funding. A successful track record, a well-established team, and a raft of ambitious new plans provide a solid foundation for strong delivery in 2023-27.
