Notice Title

SBRI: higher education open data, digital tools for prospective students

Notice Description

These contracts have been awarded following a tendering process through a competition hosted by Innovate UK's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI).

The Department for Education (DfE) is looking for ideas for creating free, accessible, commercially sustainable and innovative digital tools to help prospective students make better decisions about their future. These must: * be based on graduate salary and employment outcomes * use the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) earnings data and other relevant open data
