Place and Community Fund: Launch and networking event

14 December 2021

We were delighted to celebrate the launch of our Place and Community Knowledge Exchange Fund on 14 December. The Fund will support collaborative activities in the thematic area of place and community, involving University of York researchers and named external partners.

The launch offered an opportunity for partners from outside the University to meet and share stories with University of York academics. It was open to those from a range of organisations and backgrounds in the cultural, arts, heritage sectors and beyond, including freelance professionals. It provided a space for participants to share ideas for collaborations, hear about the new Place and Community fund and forge new relationships that might result in collaborative funding bids.

If you missed the event or would like to refresh your memory on the topics discussed, the recordings of all 22 talks are available below and on YouTube.
