Connect! Collaborative Innovation & Networking

Connect! brings together creative organisations and practitioners, Third Sector representatives, and members of the local community, with Bath Spa University researchers and residents from The Studio.  Our Connect events have been very popular this year, offering a space for new connections and conversations between Studio Residents, BSU Researchers, 3rd Sector staff and artists/creatives from Bath and the local area.   You will:

• Get face-to-face with funders and discuss your ideas and projects;
• Make new connections;
• Discuss potential collaborative projects with like-minded people;
• Enjoy facilitated conversations;
• Share your tech, creative, research, or social impact projects and ideas.

We’re making Connect! a regular feature of our events program, with facilitated conversations, introductions, and an open invitation to anyone looking to forge new connections, collaborate, or share creative, tech, research, or social projects. We will be sharing details of current funding that is available for collaborations and talk about The Studio’s current work in Creative Tech and Innovation in Bath and North East Somerset!
