The AHRC has awarded a grant of £45,000 to the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Nottingham and the Highlands and Islands for a skills training programme for PhD students and Early Career Researchers in the field of Old Norse-Icelandic and Viking Studies: Extending Academic Research about the Viking Diaspora and its heritage in the British Isles.
This project addresses the skills gap in the AHRC’s strategic area of Heritage and engages with the emerging theme of Translating Cultures. It comprises a preparatory workshop bringing together academics, young scholars and heritage professionals, followed by a field school in Orkney, providing hands-on experience of a heritage landscape.
