A ‘MyWorld funded activity’ is one of the following: CR&D Project, Challenge Call Project, Sandbox Project, Fellowship, Experimental Production, Skills training course or workshop, Pathfinder Research Activity, Experimental Productions & Connected Research Themes, Creative Economies Research Project.

MyWorld funded equipment and spaces are listed on the Facilities webpages under the description of the equipment or space.

A MyWorld Facility is a university creative R&D and training Facility with common access models, shared resources and shared equipment. See the Studio page for more information.

‘Fully subsidised’ means equipment, space or labour provided at no charge to the hirer. This is not the same as ‘free’, it is fully subsidised as the cost is met by MyWorld. The value of the subsidy being provided is to be included in subsidy control checks, where relevant. The subsidy value is the same as the full market rate.

‘At Cost’ means there is no profit to the supplier – it is the running/maintenance cost of the equipment or facility. The ‘At Cost’ rate is based on a TRAC costing produced by the University facility in line with its own TRAC policy.

Transparent Approach to Costing (TRAC) is a methodology developed with the higher education sector to help cost activities. It uses institutional expenditure information to provide the full economic cost of activities.

‘Market Rate’ is based on commercial market rates for a similar service or equipment hire.

Oscar portrait
“The possibilities arising from the R&D into various productions pipelines being delivered through MyWorld are so exciting. There is an opportunity to help break down production barriers of cost, access to specialised facilities and skills and to enable producers of all backgrounds and resources to engage with these new processes and products. As well as funding research projects, MyWorld is investing in a range of production facilities and equipment to try and build capacity in the West of England and make sure that our region’s truly amazing producers can get access and grow our already stellar reputation for great quality creative content and research."
Oscar De Mello, MyWorld Operations Director
