NCACE Festival of Cultural Knowledge Exchange

NCACE’s Festival of Cultural Knowledge Exchange festival aims to celebrate and shine a light on collaborative research activities, cultural knowledge exchange and all kinds of partnerships between universities and the arts and cultural sectors and the communities of interest they serve. Throughout the festival we aim to:

• showcase some of the brilliant collaborations taking place between universities and the arts and culture sector and the transformative impacts of such work
• inspire fresh thinking about the values, scope and possibilities of cultural knowledge exchange and the vibrant networks and connections they foster
• encourage conversation, knowledge-sharing, discussion and debate on a host of topics, while creating opportunities for further collaboration

During our Festival Closing Ceremony (Friday 24th, 4pm) we will be announcing details about our upcoming Cultural Knowledge Exchange Future Icons Award scheme, recognising and supporting outstanding collaborations between researchers and artists or arts and cultural organisations, and encouraging future leadership and experimentation in the field.
