Cultural Institute

Cultural Institute

The Cultural Institute activates exchange between the University of Leeds and the creative sector, benefiting people, research and student experience.

We support interdisciplinary research, artist residencies, student opportunities and cultural programmes like Light Night and Smeaton300.  

Collaboration is key to our work, creating opportunities for researchers, artists and creative professionals to play, explore and innovate.  

As a key driver of the Cultural Engagement Strategy, we build meaningful connections within the University and across the wider community, mobilising the power of culture and creativity to drive positive change.
