Research topics have been proposed by cultural sector partners. For full details, take a look through the ten shortlisted projects. 

We are now seeking expressions of interest from academics interested in working with the cultural sector partner on developing these proposals.

This event will provide more information about the fund, guide you through the application process and provide an opportunity to ask questions. Expressions of interest will be open between Thursday 5 January 2023 and Monday 20 February 2023.

What are the benefits of taking part in Collaborate?

  • Co-develop innovative research processes, pilot research activity with audiences and test existing methodologies in a new context.
  • Work on live research topics with highly engaged research partners.
  • Draw on the project for future research publications, as strong impact activity for future REF case studies or as the foundation for further funded research.
  • Access a cohort of peers, learning resources and workshops.
  • Develop skills in research leadership and new ways to communicate research.
