Abstract

[A wide variety of grant funding agencies in Europe, the USA, and the UK are presented and discussed. Their potential contributions to the various themes within digital media and applications are highlighted. Cross-cutting themes in the funding agencies are often directly relevant to digital media because its context and environment is often interdisciplinary. The current trend to larger grants for collaborations across industries and across academia is being driven by the need to address major national and global issues and challenges, and also to drive economic growth and create new jobs. Some types of grant require a financial contribution from the participating businesses as they are generating product or service in which they have a direct interest. The challenges of declining funding for research and development (particularly in the USA) are noted, and the knock-on issues that this is likely to generate on a national and international front are summarized. In a connected, global world, each country is dependent on the quality of its products and services (and their cost) in order to generate revenue. It is clear that increasing global competition will have a substantial effect on the future, and will test the agility and quality of each nation’s companies and intellectual capital to the limit.]
