AHRC - Doctoral Landscape Awards

Funding information

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is one of a number of UKRI research councils , each with a different range of research priorities. The AHRC supports and develops outstanding researchers across the arts and humanities, who pursue research with imagination, creativity and interdisciplinarity, and seek to tackle socio-cultural challenges of the past and present, whilst envisaging and designing possibilities for the future. This is underpinned by the AHRC’s deep commitment to the values of equality, diversity and inclusion. Allocating funding for doctoral study through the Landscape Awards is key to nurturing such research and the future generation of researchers.
