CRASSH Events & Initiatives Funding (apply by 15 October)
CRASSH offers support to postdocs and academic staff employed by the University of Cambridge or one of its Colleges to run a wide range of events and creative initiatives. We invite you to apply for funding and logistical support for any activity that will foster the exchange of ideas across disciplines and cultures, forge new collaborations between researchers and other participants, bring academic research to wider publics, or explore the connections between research and artistic practice. Creative initiatives should be connected in some way to Cambridge (the city or the University) or produce material that can be hosted on CRASSH’s website for public viewing or interaction. You may apply for support to create a film, an exhibition, a performance, a guided walk, activities that make use of the University’s collections, a hands-on workshop, or anything else that you think will fulfil the objectives above. Please note any in-person element should take place in Cambridge.
Funding of up to £1500 is available for one-day events, £2500 for two-day events, and £1000 for other kinds of initiative. Additional funding may be available for events that experiment with new formats and/or introduce creative or collaborative elements.
In-kind logistical support will be provided in the form of assistance with the planning and running of events, administration, and publicity. Events and initiatives will be selected for support by a cross-School panel. Successful proposals will form part of CRASSH’s dynamic programme for 2025-2026.
