New support to boost digital developments in museums and galleries

Museums and galleries are being invited to apply for new funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to kick-start, scale up, and evaluate the innovations they’ve introduced in response to the pandemic. The Digital Innovation and Engagement Fund, being manged by the Museums Association, will focus on supporting organisations to deliver more diverse content to more people by developing and testing new approaches. An associated programme, ‘Mindsets for Museums of the Future’, will provide a series of workshops and networking opportunities to support museums and galleries to “probe and action their own post-Covid futures”.
