Description
William & Mary’s Art & Science Exchange supports short-term, interdisciplinary learning and working communities formed around a shared question, topic or creative challenge. FUSION Mini-Grants fund a small series of convenings where faculty can build partnerships, refine ideas, plan collaborative work and explore early-stage projects.
The program aims to connect researchers across William & Mary’s schools and encourage approaches to developing knowledge for the public good. It also seeks to foster faculty development, curricular or co-curricular initiatives, student engagement and public-facing scholarship. Emerging collaborations may lead to future proposals or co-authored research.
