Creativeworks London PhD in Residence Round One AwardsWe are delighted to announce Creativeworks London has awarded the first round of our PhD in Residence Scheme. Creativeworks London’s Universities have large numbers of highly motivated, entrepreneurial PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers who have the skills that creative businesses need. This scheme invited businesses to identify their requirements for support and expertise. Through events, Creativeworks London’s Knowledge Exchange team arranged for a careful match with an appropriate Doctoral student or Postdoctoral researcher who will now be paid to work for the company for a three to four month period. The awards have gone to five, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and will support London’s businesses and academics in developing projects to ultimately have a positive effect on London’s Creative Economy.
