Registration is now open for the Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship 2024 at Girton College . The annual Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship is awarded in partnership with Girton College, thanks to the vision and generous support of Una Ryan.
The Fellowship supports the Cavendish Arts Science ethos of experimenting, decentralising and re-imagining. It is designed for artists to develop thought-provoking ideas through engagement with physicists and people from other fields, and to experiment with new approaches to their practice that are transformative and push boundaries.

- A grant of £10,000 will be paid to the successful candidate. This amount includes all taxes and is a contribution towards the artist's living costs and expenses.
- Accommodation and free meals will be provided at Girton College during the period of residence in Cambridge.
