The Eduserv Foundation has announced it will make up to £300,000 research grant funding available.

Bids are invited with a closing date of 14 March.

The main e-learning and computing themes where projects are encouraged are:

• online identity*,
• the 'open social graph'**, and
• always-on Internet access and mobile computing***.

*An "online identity" is a persona that people establish in online communities.

**The "open social graph" is a machine-readable description of the online identities in one or more online communities and the relationships between those online identities.

***"Always-on Internet access and mobile computing" results from the growing availability and use of personal, mobile computing devices (laptops, PDA, hand-held devices, mobile phones, etc.), coupled with increasingly pervasive wireless network access.
