The AHRC, EPSRC and ESRC, through the Digital Economy Programme, are delighted to announce details of a new initiative in Copyright and New Business Models in the Digital Age. This call represents the first of two stages in the application process.
Expressions of Interest are invited for a multidisciplinary research centre that focuses on real research challenges in the creative economy, relating to new digital technologies and issues of copyright and new business models.
£5M Full Economic Cost (FEC) is available to support one Centre over four years. The successful applicants will be funded at 80% of FEC. There is an expectation that the Centre will leverage significant additional income or support from partners and other sources such that, after the four-year period of Research Council funding, the Centre will be able to develop the legacy of its work, including sustaining partnerships, delivering impact and continuing other major benefits. In short, the Centre will be expected to be sustainable in an appropriate form.
The closing date is 4pm on 8 September.
