The second and final Collaborative Research and Development (CR&D) Open Call, led by Digital Catapult, will open for applications on 9 October 2023.

This event will bring together the CreaTech, industry and research communities including those from the academic partners in the project (University of Bristol, University of Bath, UWE, and Bath Spa University) and provide an opportunity to meet with representatives from the MyWorld project, Digital Catapult, and wider programme partners.
Anyone from industry, start-ups or academia looking to apply to the CR&D call, or those interested in finding out more about the MyWorld programme and its expected impact on the region over its five-year duration is encouraged to attend.
The MyWorld CR&D call is delivered by Innovate UK (IUK) using its Innovation Funding Service (IFS) platform. It will open on 9 October 2023, and close on 6 December 2023. Details of the call are available on the IFS site.
