Our work includes overseeing our flagship design funding programme - Future Observatory: Design the Green Transition – which will soon be moving onto its second phase.

The Research and Innovation Infrastructure team was established in 2019 and is responsible for the development and implementation of AHRC’s Infrastructure Strategy and Programme.  The team leads on AHRC’s engagement with the UKRI Infrastructure team to ensure that the arts and humanities are appropriately represented in the wider UKRI Infrastructure Programme, and the extent of their contribution to research and innovation understood.

  • Contributing to and/or leading the production of case studies and other narratives that highlight research outputs and impacts
