Mapping the Arts & Humanities Project
Mapping the Arts and Humanities is the UK’s first initiative dedicated to surveying the landscape of research infrastructures in the field of Arts and Humanities. By making these often-invisible networks discoverable through an interactive map, database, and API, the project supports academics, researchers, funders, practitioners, and policy makers connect, collaborate, and demonstrate how Arts and Humanities research actively shapes knowledge, policy, and public engagement.
Podcast
Researchers, practitioners, and infrastructure leads in conversation on digital tools, research training, new research methods, cross-sector collaboration, and the changing landscape of arts and humanities in higher education.
