Pathfinders
From 2019 to 2023 we will launch five Pathfinders - themed creative R&D projects - that will lead the Bristol + Bath cluster into the future, engaging with emergent technologies and developing a diverse new talent base.
Bristol+Bath Creative R+D is a new, £6.8 million collaboration to take the Bristol and Bath cluster to the next level by forging connections, sharing knowledge and creating new opportunities.
This first-of-a-kind collaboration between the region’s four universities - UWE Bristol, Bath Spa, the University of Bath and the University of Bristol - and digital creativity centre Watershed, intends to break down the doors, connecting the worlds of university research and creative business to collectively imagine and develop the future of the creative industries.
What is Digital Placemaking?
Digital Placemaking aims to enhance and deepen the relationship between people and places. We believe the best examples of digital placemaking are co-designed by different kinds of communities, using digital technology and creative solutions to improve or enhance the public experience of place.
Meet the Fellows
We're delighted to announce our team of Fellows who will be working alongside Industry Partners to think deeply about the potentials, challenges and opportunities in the area of Digital Placemaking.
Take Part
There will be a wide range of public events, discussions, workshops and opportunities to participate throughout the project, alongside paid Fellowships and production commissions.
