Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships
2014 Call for Proposals
http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/c/cdps/
The V&A is now inviting applications for AHRC-funded Collaborative
Doctoral Awards (CDAs). As part of the Collaborative Doctoral
Partnership consortium <http://www.ahrc-cdp.org/>, the V&A will award
four fully-funded studentships.
The V&A is Britain’s national museum of art and design, with a
collection spanning two thousand years of art in virtually every medium,
from across the world. It was established following the 1851 Great
Exhibition in London, with the radical, utilitarian and entrepreneurial
aims of educating and inspiring working people. With a vast and
encyclopaedic collection, significant for its historical importance as
well as its contemporary excellence and relevance, the Museum remains a
source of inspiration for all who share a passion, interest and
enthusiasm for art and design.
The V&A actively welcomes enquiries and project proposals from UK Higher
Education Institutions, and has identified six priority research areas
around which studentships should be formulated:
* New approaches to learning, display and interpretation in the field
of art and design
* Designing the future
* Research into textiles (including projects with a practice-based
component)
* Conservation-related research
* Collecting and curating Africa
* Design for performance
Applications outside the priority themes may also be submitted if they
can demonstrate a strong fit with other V&A priorities.
Application Procedure
We welcome project proposals from UK Higher Education Institutions, for
projects to start from October 2015. The deadline for proposals for
studentships to start in the 2015/2016 academic year is *Friday 28
November 2014*.
