City of Culture – Evaluation Projects

Bradford 2025 Evaluation Team in partnership with University of Bradford and University of Leeds

Exciting and unique opportunity!

Callout for students and researchers to work with Bradford UK City of Culture 2025 in partnership with the University of Bradford and the University of Leeds on a wide range of interesting evaluation projects in 2025 and 2026. Projects will contribute to understanding the longer-term impacts of Bradford 2025 City of Culture.

Are you interested in the impacts of City of Culture? We are looking for projects that align with your existing programme of study, or where there is voluntary interest in taking part in research and evaluation.

Sitting with the Bradford 2025, UK City of Culture evaluation team, and working with partner institutions, you will support the legacy of this once in a generation event but working on the vital stories that arise from the event.

In particular, core areas of evaluation which may be relevant to White Rose placements are health and wellbeing, civic pride, cultural events, environment and sustainability, international impacts, and learning from the City of Culture (not exhaustive).

Any queries about this opportunity should be addressed to the Host Organisation.

Expressions of interest (EOI) should be sent to evaluation@bradford2025.co.uk (please cc in k.croucher@bradford.ac.uk)
