Breaking down disciplinary boundaries, the Scholarly Innovation Labs (SILs) provides the space, resources, and community needed to stimulate innovative and collaborative scholarship.
The SILs are intended not only to be labs and workshops for project teams, but vibrant hubs of interdisciplinary digital scholarship at UCLA. Every quarter we host regular meetings and special events that cover a wide range of topics.
To Propose a research collaboration please submit a brief description using our online form. We review applications on a rolling basis. If accepted, team members will have access to the SIL on a quarterly basis.
