With so much going on at Warwick with City of Culture, we've put together a brief roundup below to highlight everything that is happening and how you can be involved.

This year the ESRC Festival of Social Science is going online from 7^th-15^th November and we are now looking for expressions of interest for events.

The One Coventry Partnership, including Coventry City of Culture Trust, Coventry City Council and West Midlands Police, have come together to create a new artistic commissioning programme which shares the message of social distancing being ‘Our New Normal’.

Artists with CV postcodes are invited to create artwork which communicates the importance of observing social distancing and staying at home to save lives during the coronavirus pandemic.

The latest round of awards for collaborative research projects contributing to Coventry City of Culture have just been announced. Now in their third year, these collaborative projects are jointly funded between Coventry University and the University of Warwick, and have been granted funding of up to £2,000 for projects to partner with a Coventry-based organisation to undertake locally impactful research that invites the general public to participate. The Partnership’s two previous calls have funded 26 innovative and inclusive projects, and continue to build upon other initiatives such as the Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Value, and Coventry City Council’s Cultural Strategy.

Delivered in partnership with the British Council, the International Changemakers Bursary seeks to evolve the spirit of internationalism, exploring who we are now and who we want to become. Through building partnerships with cities across the globe who have similar values, we wish to use art and culture to create a collective movement of connected changemakers.

Having won the title ‘UK City of Culture 2021’, Coventry City of Culture Trust is keen to support existing and potential partners to develop their practice, their organisation or their ideas as they look to get ready for 2021.

Coventry University and the University of Warwick are offering funding of up to £2,000 for projects to undertake locally impactful research that invites the general public to participate and respond.

We are excited to announce our final internal funding call for CoC2021 related research projects for the academic year 2019-2020.
