FULLY BOOKED – Collaborate – a chance to find out more
A recording of this same event from 12 October is now available.
Interested in applying for Collaborate?
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.
We are also running two other instances of this event on the 12 October. To book on to the morning click here and for the afternoon here.
