All Information

The R&D MAP Creative Content Exchange Pilot: Early Adopters Fund is an innovation grant established by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) under UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The programme is designed to encourage organisations within the creative and cultural sectors to become early users of the Creative Content Exchange (CCE) platform. The Creative Content Exchange is being developed as a trusted marketplace where digitised cultural and creative assets can be licensed, bought, sold and shared more efficiently. Through this funding, organisations can test new digital business models, improve access to creative content, and strengthen the UK's creative economy while contributing to the development of the CCE ecosystem
