Deadline: 6 June 2019
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR) have announced a joint call for Research Networking projects addressing the theme of “Cultural Heritage, Migration and Indian Diasporas”.
The aim of this Research Networking call is to allow researchers in the UK and India to build interdisciplinary networks and partnerships that will explore and develop key issues arising from the scoping workshop held in Ahmedabad in January 2019. It is hoped that these awards will stimulate debate in response to the key challenges raised at the workshop; build partnerships between academic and non-academic communities in response to these challenges; and lead to the development of longer-term collaborative research projects between researchers in the UK and India.

Proposals must address one of the following five themes:
- Indian diasporas and cultural markets
- Digital technology as a bridge
- Cultural Heritage Transformations
