360
A Scoping Project for ‘Where Next?’, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK. Based at Durham University, UK with partners at the universities of York, Oxford, Oslo, and Texas A&M.
Where Next?
‘Where Next?’ is a scoping exercise for questions and areas of Arts and Humanities research that have significant potential for future funding. Although UK-centred the project looks outwards, seeking to identify potential future research areas that work for a diversity of funding organisation and priorities. At the same time the project will allow the development of networks and partnerships between academics, and other sectors, as well as the formulation of a research agenda and methodology.

Cultural Heritage 360
Taking as its focus the potential for collaborative research between humanities and sciences in the field of cultural heritage. Cultural Heritage 360 will scope the potential for Arts and Humanities-led interdisciplinary research, embracing sciences and social sciences, into cultural heritage and its record, that is, artefacts, widely conceived, from manuscripts to ceramics and textiles to sculpture. ‘360’ is defined here as an holistic approach which integrates the content and meaning of a cultural artefact with understanding of its physical composition and form. CH360 will provide an organised and comprehensive framework in which genuinely inter-disciplinary collaborations can take place, laying the ground for new research questions, methodologies and scientifically-informed knowledge and interpretation
Led by academics from a wide variety of disciplines across sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities
Organised through a series of six workshops hosted by the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham.
Themes: Digital Presentation, Cultural Value and Meaning, Creative Industries, Training, Interdisciplinary Models
