Collaborative research projects

Collaborative research projects

Coventry University and University of Warwick are working together offering awards to projects bringing together Warwick and Coventry academics with cultural organisations in Coventry to develop public engagement activities with impact which invite the general public to participate and respond.

We are excited to share details of some of our projects relating to Coventry City of Culture. Our collaborative projects aim to connect people and places through research to enhance and accentuate the cultural importance of our city and its residents. We want to stimulate and promote research excellence that makes a positive impact in Coventry.

Building on the work done by initiatives including the Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Value, the City of Culture partnership, and Coventry City Council’s Cultural strategy, these awards invite applications to either continue research, complete small-scale work or as seed funding for larger projects
