Scottish Programming Languages Institute

Co-ordinating community events that enhance programming languages research in Scotland

Theme vision

Growing the programming languages research community in Scotland

The Scottish Programming Languages Institute (SPLI) is an independent research group group that coordinates community events that enhance programming languages research in Scotland.

It brings together researchers from across SICSA institutions who cover a wide range of topics, from theoretical foundations and semantics to implementation, compilation, and optimisation.

SPLI is always open to new members and new connections between programming languages and other areas of computer science.

SICSA supports SPLI activities including regular seminars (SPLS), with collaboration across our other research themes like Theory, Modelling & Computation and Systems & Software.

An aim throughout this period is to encourage engagement and partnership with industry, building on existing relationships and developing new ones.

Funding & support for SPLI

Academics and researchers at any SICSA institution are encouraged to organise events and activities throughout the year. If you’re an SPLI researcher and you have an idea for an event, submit a proposal to our theme leads outlining your plans and funding required.
