Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge Exchange in the Humanities at Oxford creates mutually beneficial collaborations with researchers and organisations external to the University.

Contact: kesupport@humanities.ox.ac.uk

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.
