Knowledge Exchange in the Humanities at Oxford creates mutually beneficial collaborations with researchers and organisations external to the University.
TORCH supports Knowledge Exchange in the Humanities in the following ways:
Knowledge Exchange Fellowship scheme; Oxford researchers partner with an external organisation. This flagship scheme has supported over 65 Fellowships since 2013.
Seed funding for projects; small grants available for smaller scale and often exploratory projects.
Matchmaking; if you are a researcher interested in finding an organisational partner, please feel free to get in touch. We often bring people together who could potentially work together.
We have a dedicated team member for each of these focus areas. They are available to support researchers interested in exploring potential research-led work in these themes:
TORCH is proud to partner with theatre companies - our collaborations cover a range of activities designed to benefit all parties through meaningful knowledge exchange.
Research collaborations with creative industries enable us to join the world-class research taking place at the University of Oxford with the diverse market-driven experiences of creative and cultural organisations.
Public policy engagement can range from sharing new insights generated by collaborative research, conferences and seminars, undertaking commissioned research, to participating in public policy debates, or direct briefing or lobbying of policy makers.
Previous collaborations include pre- and post- show public talks, researchers consulting with theatre makers during the development phase of new productions and creating new pieces of theatre.
The National Trust Partnership is an award-winning collaboration between Oxford University and the National Trust which creates new opportunities for interdisciplinary research, knowledge exchange, public engagement with research and training.
Created in partnership with the National Trust, Trusted Source is a growing knowledge bank of concise and accessible articles about history, culture and the natural environment.
