Please contact the Head of the Computational Engineering and Design group, Michele Meo, or a member of staff if you are considering Southampton as your host for one of these. We recommend contacting us well ahead of the various scheme submission deadlines, as there are often internal deadlines at the University of Southampton before the official submission date.
