Looking to set up a partnership?

We have launched a collaboration finder for the ‘creative climate connections’ funding opportunity. This short survey provides a platform to help researchers, artists, public and community collaborators and others interested in developing a proposal for submission to the ‘creative climate connections‘ funding opportunity to find and contact potential collaborators and project partners.

Information provided will be shared by email as a password protected PDF with all participants in the survey shortly after each of the two collaboration finder deadlines, 15 and 29 July 2021.

All personal data provided via this survey will be processed in accordance with current UK data protection legislation. Details can be found in the guidance notes and on the UKRI privacy notice.
