Bristol+Bath Creative 
R+D

Bristol+Bath Creative R+D is a £6.8m collaboration that aims to raise the bar for the region’s creative industries. The five-year programme seeks to forge connections and partnerships in Bristol and Bath; sharing knowledge, and creating crossovers and even greater opportunities in what’s already one of the most vibrant clusters in the UK.

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, aims to break down the doors, connecting the worlds of university research and creative business to develop a shared vision for tomorrow’s creative industries.

This programme is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as part of their Creative Industries Clusters Programme.
