Rather than being a ‘residency’ (where an artist produces work for a host that assumes the context of audience), these opportunities are described as placements, where the cultural practitioner is a peer, producing creative outputs that support and enrich the core activity of the host (i.e. the relevant University of Exeter institute or cross-departmental group).

The three institutes/cross-departmental groups at the University who will be hosting fellows are:
Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (Exeter), Fellow research theme: Uncertainty Quantification
Environment and Sustainability Institute (Penryn), Fellow research theme: Place and landscape; interdisciplinary methods
Centre for Human-Animal-Environment Bioarchaeology (Exeter), Fellow research theme: Care, the great human tradition: A multi-disciplinary collaborative exploration of family care across time and culture

The Fellowships will run over a period of four to five weeks to be agreed with the University of Exeter, between April and the end of July 2019, split between in-situ research and production time. The timing and detail of outputs are to be developed in discussion with host institutes.

The total budget per Fellowship is £5,000 (inclusive of VAT) on a freelance basis, to include practitioner’s fee, travel and accommodation, production costs and documentation.
