UK/Viet Nam Information Session 

How much can I apply for?

There are three grant sizes you can apply for:
Up to £10,000 grant 
Up to £30,000 grant 
Up to £50,000 grant

When do the projects need to take place?

Projects can take place between April and December 2023 with public-facing activities and presentation of project outputs to take place between June and December 2023.

Can I develop a proposal across multiple sectors?

Yes. We welcome proposals for cross-sectoral projects (i.e., education, English and arts and creative industries), as long as the focus is on the arts and creative industries. 
We would advise you to consider the selection criteria carefully, particularly in outlining the linkages between sectors to demonstrate that your project proposal is of a high quality and achievable.

Can I apply as an individual?

Applications can only be accepted from organisations and not individuals. However, projects awarded with grant funding are expected to deliver benefit to individual artists, creatives, academics and researchers both from the UK and Viet Nam.

Who will assess the applications?

Applications will be assessed by a team of British Council programme managers and sector specialists from the arts and creative industries. 
All applications will be treated confidentially. 

Can I apply without a partner?

As the grant programme is designed to foster UK – Viet Nam partnerships, all applications must include at least one partner based in the UK, and one partner based in Viet Nam.
