New Generation thinkers is a project run by BBC Radio 3 and the AHRC to find emerging academics from the arts and humanities to get their research ideas ‘on air’
New Generation Thinkers 2012 is an opportunity for emerging academics from the arts and humanities to get their research ideas ‘on air’. The initiative is run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
Up to sixty successful applicants will have a chance to develop their programme-making ideas with experienced BBC producers at a series of dedicated workshops and, of these up to ten will become Radio 3’s resident New Generation Thinkers. They will benefit from a unique opportunity to develop their own programmes for BBC Radio 3 and a chance to regularly appear on air.
This year the New Generation Thinkers scheme will also be joined by The Review Show on BBC TWO and the BBC Scotland Arts TV team who will be looking to develop New Generation Thinkers and their ideas into arts television.
Scholars who applied to last year’s scheme are welcome – and encouraged - to apply again, even if they made it to the finals.
Details on how to apply can be found on the AHRC website
The deadline for applications is midnight on Wednesday December 7th
