Can you help us to develop new research-based partnerships between higher education and the cultural sector?

As part of the Centre for Cultural Value’s new Collaborate funding programme, we are seeking a cultural sector practitioner or independent artist to join the panel that will assess and select applications made to the Collaborate fund.

By taking part you will be lending your experience and expertise to a process that will support other cultural practitioners, organisations and artists to develop new research partnerships and projects in the area of cultural value. Further information about Collaborate can be found here.

What will be involved?

As a member of an assessment panel including Centre for Cultural Value staff and academic experts, we would like you to read and critically assess expressions of interest submitted by cultural sector applicants. You will be provided with defined criteria for the fund, guidance and a template for this activity. Support will be available from the Centre’s team if you have any questions. You will also be required to attend an online meeting with other members of the panel to agree a shortlist of applicants who will be included in the next stage of the programme.

We will pay a fixed fee of £350 for this activity and will acknowledge your role and contribution on our website.
