AHRC international research
About this grant
AHRC and DFG’s flagship UK-German funding initiative in the humanities runs on an annual basis. It provides the opportunity for UK-based arts and humanities researchers to conduct highly integrated research projects with Germany-based partners.
The 2 funding agencies have developed this programme to:
deepen and strengthen cooperation between UK and German researchers in the humanities
foster the growth of a transnational UK-German research culture [...] enhance UK-US collaboration on collections-based research methodology
develop new approaches to the ways in which culture and heritage are experienced by global audiences
To date, AHRC has funded 10 partnership development awards and 25 transatlantic research grants through this programme.
#### Transatlantic partnerships
In collaboration with ESRC, AHRC is participating in the International Initiative for Research in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation.
