The new CATH (Collaborative Arts Triple Helix) Project

From Susannah Goh- at Birmingham Science City

CATH is a new AHRC-funded research project led by do.collaboration (University of Birmingham) in partnership with the School of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester.

As a cultural, digital or creative industries company, we would like to offer you the opportunity to work with new colleagues across the West and East Midlands creative and cultural sectors and academics from the University of Birmingham and Leicester, to develop new digital projects and partnerships .
 

CATH will enable partnerships to develop a digital prototype, be it an app, a web tool or another digital concept, that has the potential for further development. CATH aims to foster partnerships that lead to sustainable projects and the CATH team will be available to advise how to fund projects beyond the prototyping phase.

This unique project allows:
1.    Cultural organisations to develop collaborative partnerships with digital companies and academics to develop new audiences, improve audience experience, test new concepts and ideas relating to creative practice, and develop new forms of income generation
2.    Digital SMEs to collaboratively Research and Develop digital apps or tools which could have a wider commercial application within and beyond the cultural sector
3.    Academics to develop new pathways to impact for their research and enrich their understanding of the benefits of collaborative work across sectors.

The CATH project launch event will be held on Wednesday 15 May 2013 11am till 4pm in the Chowen Prototyping Hall at the University of Birmingham.
