Project Building Funding

Project Building Funding enables existing groupings or partners to develop their ideas, to undertake small projects or to develop cases for external funding.

This is our funding scheme for applications from partnerships or teams to develop ideas. Funding of up to £2K will be made available for proposals that explore the ideas that drive or are inspired by our research. Applications to the Project Building Fund will be assessed by an expert panel with a wealth of experience of collaboration across disciplines and of the impact of interdisciplinarity collaboration and its communication.

There is no need to have taken part in the Seed scheme to apply for this funding.

Deadline: Friday 17 January 2025

The image below entitled 'The Human Spaceship - A Slice of the Moon' (Paper Collage and Paint, Size 1.10m X 1.10m, 2023 by artist, Helen Schell), gives a flavour of work by Helen.
