CI SMALL RESEARCH GRANTS: DATA AND THE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES

Is there a research project related to the creative industries you’d love to explore if you only had resources and support? Does it involve some kind of exploration or investigation into data or digital technologies?

Creative Informatics Small Research Grants of up to £5,000 are open to academics and researchers at any stage of their career, including PhD students. Project Principal Investigators (who can be PhD students) must be based at either the University of Edinburgh or Edinburgh Napier University. Proposed projects or activities should explore innovative uses or applications of data or digital technologies in the creative and cultural industries. We aim to fund at least 5 projects in this round.
