This funding opportunity is for transnational research teams who wish to explore cultural heritage and how it relates to ethics.
There are two complementary themes.
Cultural heritage and economic development
Researchers could explore:
- how cultural heritage can contribute to the development of sustainable experience-based economies without being put at risk
- how the non-utilitarian value of cultural heritage can be promoted in the context of its growing commercialisation.
Cultural heritage and sustainable strategies
Researchers could explore the relationship between cultural heritage, democratic values and politics from a historical perspective. They should emphasise:
- the construction of conflicting narratives resulting from the use and misuse of cultural heritage
- the contribution of cultural heritage to sustainable and ethical behaviours and policies.
See the ANR website for further details.
Funding
UK-based participants can apply for the following costs:
- principal investigator salary and associated overheads
- co-investigator salary and associated overheads
- international co-investigator costs
- research assistant salary and associated overheads
- minimal costs for collaborating organisations where expertise or knowledge is required: any organisation can be named as a ‘collaborating organisation’, but its contribution to the project must be fully explained and all costs must be justified
- travel and subsistence costs
- other directly incurred costs relating to the proposed research that are eligible according to the AHRC research funding guide.
UK budgets cannot include costs for project PhD students.
The full economic cost of the UK elements of a project can be up to €250,000. AHRC will fund 80% of the full economic cost.
