Some 60 Beyond Text Award Holders gathered at Queen Mary University of London on Friday 16 January for a day long workshop exploring areas of potential collaboration between the 28 projects funded so far.
Artist-in-residence for the day was Ms Catrin Webster, working with Dr Elena Isayev and her network on De-Placing Future Memory. Some of Catrin's work on the day can be seen here.
Arts & Humanities Research Council: Each year the AHRC provides approximately £100 million from the Government to support research and postgraduate study in the arts and humanities, from archaeology and English literature to design and dance. In any one year, the AHRC makes approximately 700 research awards and around 1,000 postgraduate awards. Awards are made after a rigorous peer review process, to ensure that only applications of the highest quality are funded. Arts and humanities researchers constitute nearly a quarter of all research-active staff in the higher education sector. The quality and range of research supported by this investment of public funds not only provides social and cultural benefits but also contributes to the economic success of the UK.
