About The Exchange
The Exchange is a two year pilot project bringing together artists, creative SMEs and early career researchers to enrich the ecology between the creative industries and academia.
The Exchange launched in January 2016 and is managed by The Culture Capital Exchange (TCCE) and supported by Arts Council England and the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
The Exchange will work towards establishing a national network through which artists, creatives and researchers can develop mutually beneficial relationships and break down barriers to collaboration.
- Seed funding of £5K each will be available for up to 30 collaborative research projects.
The Exchange builds on more than ten years’ experience that TCCE have gained collaborating with HEIs and the creative and cultural industries.
