If you are an individual practitioner or part of a cultural sector organisation within the UK then it could be for you.

Please note the event isn’t suitable for academic and commercial researchers, students or international guests.

Join us to find out more about this new fund to support the development of collaborative research projects between the cultural sector and academic researchers.

Successful projects will contribute to deeper understanding of the differences culture makes to people’s lives and to the range of research methodologies used to explore cultural value.

This event will provide more information about the fund, as well as help you to think about the research project you might like to explore. We will also guide you through the application process, before expressions of interest open on 18 October.

Event outcomes

What are the benefits of taking part in Collaborate?

Collaborate will give cultural sector practitioners the opportunity to explore and more deeply understand your practice and to communicate the cultural value of your work more effectively. Working in partnership with academic researchers can also help to open up new ways of thinking, develop innovative ideas and practice and build new networks.
