Funding Source: AHRC/EPSRC
Summary: The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and EPSRC are jointly funding a programme ‘Science and Heritage’ to support leading-edge research which will explore new ways to understand the cultural and physical nature of heritage and to prepare society for the challenges that cultural heritage will face in the 21st Century. This £8.1 million programme will run for five years until May 2012.
EPSRC wish to draw the programme to the attention of all researchers within and outside higher education institutions, heritage stakeholders and industrial and commercial enterprises with an interest in cultural heritage. This includes researchers in anthropology, the applied arts, archaeology, archaeometry, art history, architecture, biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, conservation, conservation science, electronics, engineering, environmental design, environmental science, history, management, materials science, philosophy, physics, sensor and instrumentation design and technology.
As part of this programme, AHRC and EPSRC are making funding available to support cross-disciplinary network activities through Research Clusters. Proposals with full economic costs of up to £30,000 and for a period of between 4 and 12 months may be submitted. It is expected that the programme will fund around 10 clusters through this call.
