Creativeworks London’s Researchers-In-Residence scheme provides exciting opportunities for doctoral students and early career academic researchers at partner universities to work closely with SMEs within the creative economy. SMEs tell us about research problems and questions that are key to their future development and success, and Creativeworks London then helps to identify doctoral students and early career academic researchers with the right knowledge and skills to address these.

The Researchers-In-Residence scheme provides an exciting opportunity to spend time exploring how your research can make a difference to SMEs in the creative economy. You will also be able to build networks for future collaborations, and to develop a wide range of skills that will sustain these in the future.

As a doctoral student you may also be part of a collaborative team funded by Creativeworks London’s Creative Voucher scheme. This scheme provides a range of exciting opportunities for researchers to work in collaboration with SMEs in the creative economy and with some of London’s leading cultural institutions to address important research problems and make a real difference to the future success of these SMEs and the creative economy in London more broadly.

Please note that the Researcher In Residence scheme is now closed (December 2014). Their will be no further funding rounds of this scheme.
