DE Communities & Culture Network+ now inviting proposals for 2nd round of pilot projects and also for seed funding!

The Digital Economy Communities & Culture Network+ is now inviting proposals for a second round of pilot projects and also for seed funding!

Pilot Projects (deadline 15th March, 4pm)
In response to our first round of funding, the Communities and Culture Network+ are issuing a second-round call for pilot projects. We would like to invite applications for up to £20k to fund a discrete pilot project of 6 months duration. We aim to fund two projects in this round. Although this call is open and could relate to any area within the Communities and Culture strand of the Network+ (see www.communitiesandculture.org) we are particularly keen to receive project proposals from areas investigating issues of health, wellbeing and resilience. Re-written proposals from the first round and new proposals are welcome. Projects will start no later than June 2013 and run for 6 months.

Further information relating to this call and the costing template which must be completed and submitted with all proposals can be found via the website . Proposals should be submitted to Rosie Wilkinson (R.H.Wilkinson@leeds.ac.uk) no later than 4pm on 15th March.

Seed Project Funding (reviewing dates June, September, December, March)
We are also issuing an open and response-mode call for seed projects of £1-4k per project (£25k per annum) to fund small discrete projects within the remit of the Communities and Culture Network+. This is an open call for collaborative or academic projects, for post-doctoral up to experienced researchers. The projects should develop an idea or project, test a concept or theory, be creative or concept driven, and/or develop partnerships through activities.

Further information relating to this call and the costing template which must be completed and submitted with all proposals can be found via the website. Proposals should be submitted to Rosie Wilkinson (R.H.Wilkinson@leeds.ac.uk).
