UK businesses can apply for a share of £2.4m to work with Brazilian partners on innovative urban development solutions in Brazil. Could you apply your heritage expertise on the projects? (Competition registration deadline 26 April 2017, applications by 3 May 2017)
Innovate UK is running a competition to fund collaborative technological solutions that address three different challenges:
- Integration and governance of city systems
- Urban infrastructure and affordable, smart mobility
- Sustainable urban environments
While these challenges don’t expressly contain heritage angles, the ‘imaginative’ use of funds originally allocated for quite different intentions have always been an important strategy for heritage works in the hands of skilled conservation experts.
Could you apply your heritage skills on these projects in Brazil?
