This project is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Each year the AHRC provides funding from the Government to support research and postgraduate study in the arts and humanities, from archaeology and English literature to design and dance. Only applications of the highest quality and excellence are funded and the range of research supported by this investment of public funds not only provides social and cultural benefits but also contributes to the economic success of the UK. For further information on the AHRC, please see their website:
The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funds research and training in social and economic issues. They are an independent organisation, established by Royal Charter, but receive most of their funding through the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. We have an international reputation both for providing high-quality research on issues of importance to business, the public sector and government, and for our commitment to training world-class social scientists. Nearly two-thirds of our budget is allocated to research and just under one-third to postgraduate training.
