Working to transform our research, expertise and talent into high-impact innovation, to benefit Glasgow and the world
Are you an arts and humanities researcher, who is looking for new ways to extend the reach and impact of your research?
Does your research show possibilities to access different funding opportunities and think about new models to deliver impact at scale and to support your research in the future?
The Creative Launch Fund is a joint innovation fund for early-stage projects in the arts and humanities, funded by the Shared Prosperity Fund, Scottish Funding Council, the University of Glasgow's Innovation Fund, and, the Entrepreneurial Campus.
It has been established to support innovation and entrepreneurship in the Arts & Humanities, and is offered in partnership by the University of Glasgow, the Glasgow School of Art, and The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
The next round of funding applications will be open from November 13, with further guidance available at the launch.
This fund will be launched by Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Glasgow and Uzma Khan, Vice-Principal for Economic Development and Innovation, and Deputy Chief Operating Officer at the University of Glasgow.
Our launch event on November 13 will be showcasing this exciting fund intended to provide more opportunities for Arts and Humanities researchers to develop impact at scale.
Attendees will be able to engage in a fantastic networking opportunity and meet likeminded researchers, learn more about what entrepreneurship looks like in the Arts and Humanities, and hear from our great lineup of speakers.
Successful
Launch attendees will also receive a brief introduction to innovation within Arts & Humanities, including a spotlight on our own examples of innovation within Glasgow, followed by drinks and nibbles and a chance to network across the three partner institutions.
You don’t need to have a detailed idea or to have started an innovation project; just the willingness to explore new avenues for impact at scale.
The Creative Launch Fund provides up to £10k per project for six months. Successful applicants will benefit from training in innovation relevant to arts and humanities projects, as well as support and guidance on project development.
This event is open to all academic staff at the Glasgow School of Art, The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and the University of Glasgow; please do promote to other academic colleagues who might be interested.
For more information, please contact Morven Fraser-Walther.
In addition to the launch event, you can learn more about the fund at our online application workshop on the 4th December (2pm - 3pm): Zoom link
