AHRC call for Large Grants - Digital Transformations

The Arts and Humanities Research Council is now invitng outline proposals for its large grants under its digital transformations theme. This theme aims to exploit the potential of digital technologies to transform research in the arts and humanities, and to ensure that arts and humanities research is at the forefront of tackling crucial issues such as intellectual property, cultural memory and identity, and communication and creativity in a digital age. These large grants are expected to support proposals that are novel in terms of ambition and scope and transformative for the arts and humanities. International collaboration is encouraged for the grants.

Awards should last for a minimum of 36 months and a maximum of 60 months and will be expected to start between 1 October 2013 and 1 April 2014. Funding of between £1 million and £2m is available on a full economic cost basis with the AHRC meeting 80 per cent of the full economic costs.
  • Closing date 10 Jan 13
  • Deadline information Outline proposals due by 4pm, 10 January 2013.
