South Asian Historial Records and Climate: an interdisciplinary workshop

The Indian Higher Education Cell, the AHRC and the British Library are funding an interdisciplinary workshop on South Asian Historical Records and Climate as part of a series of Digital Knowledge Exchange workshops in India.  The event will take place in Bangalore on 4th and 5th March 2011. 

The AHRC is seeking to fund up to 10 researchers to participate in this workshop and further details, including how to apply, are available on their website at http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/News/Events/Pages/workshopSouthAsianHistoricalRecordsandClimate.aspx.

Care for the Future


Funding for Research Networks and Fellowships is now available from AHRC under the emerging theme Care for the Future: Thinking Forward Through the Past, one of four priority themes identified by AHRC. The area of Cultural Heritage has been particularly highlighted in this funding initiative and it will therefore be of interest to researchers working within the heritage science domain.
Further details can be found on the AHRC website at http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/FundingOpportunities/Pages/careforthefuture.aspx
