Deadline: September 19, 2017
Applications are now open for the 2018 Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowships, which include a strand for Designers in partnership with the British Council. Since 2015, the British Council’s Architecture Design Fashion team has been collaborating with the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust on a Design strand of their travel fellowships. The category now also includes Craft, and the fellowships will be awarded for projects that add to international collaboration and understanding, and also bring back knowledge and best practice for the benefit of others in the UK. British designers working across all fields of practice are encouraged to apply.
Following the completion of their fellowships, successful applicants will be able to apply for a follow-up grant from the British Council’s Architecture Design Fashion team to help with events, exhibitions and further international collaboration to further the outcomes of their Churchill Fellowship.
Categories
Every year they invite applications from across a range of different areas of research, or categories. A number of the categories are delivered in partnership with organisations who are experts in the funded area. These partnerships usually run for three years and offer Fellows opportunities to share their findings, and exchange ideas and best practice with relevant networks of professionals. Explore categories here.
