The Studio Innovation Fund 2023 – Call for applicants

The Studio at Palace Yard Mews, Bath Spa University’s city-centre research and innovation hub, is delighted to be launching The Studio Innovation Fund which follows on from the successes of The Studio Recovery Fund. The aim of the fund is to support freelancers, micro-businesses, social enterprises and third sector organisations, based in Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES), to progress their creative technology project ideas.

The Studio Innovation Fund’s themes are inclusion and environmental sustainability. These link to the ambitions of the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) Cultural Plan and its broader vision for the support and growth of the creative industries in the region, as well as the core policies of the Bath and North East Somerset’s Corporate Strategy.

Call for proposals:
The Studio would like to invite proposals for creative technology projects that can run from Feb-Jul 2023, which take innovative approaches to addressing one or both of the fund’s themes:

• Inclusion; e.g. supporting new talent, engaging new audiences, enabling diversity, and empowering people to make an impact in their communities.
• Environmental sustainability; e.g. providing solutions, ideas, and education, or developing sustainable products or processes.
