New Funding Call Launched - Connecting cultures through co-production
Connecting Cultures GRP are pleased to announce that new funding is available for research which is co-designed and co-produced between Warwick researchers and community groups or cultural organisations. These groups/organisations can be anywhere in the world, and do not need to be Coventry based.
Up to £1,500 is available (and smaller bids are encouraged) for strategic projects that:
- Have a strong and demonstrable element of co-design and co-production, working in dialogue with local community or public sector groups or representatives around cultural themes and concerns.
- Will deliver tangible benefits to these groups: this benefit might be social, economic and/or cultural.
If relevant to the project, it would be great if projects and their outcomes are able to be showcased at Coventry City of Culture roadshow under the theme of ‘Words and Voices’ in September 2021. Please indicate in your proposal if this is likely to be the case. For more information on the roadshows please click here

Latest round of City of Culture Research Projects announced
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.
