COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS
In June 2008, ten Collaborative Research Studentships were awarded under the first call of the AHRC/EPSRC Science and Heritage Programme. These awards will allow PhD researchers to study with major UK universities and cultural institutions to push the boundaries of our understanding of historic materials.
Details of each award along with a downloadable poster covering the research undertaken can be found below.
