Apply for Funding from the AHRC ICT Methods Network – Deadline 30 June 2007 The AHRC ICT Methods Network invites the arts and humanities Higher Education community in the UK to submit proposals for Methods Network activities. Activities may include workshops, seminars, focused workgroups, postgraduate training events and publications. The Methods Network is keen to support both single- and cross-disciplinary proposals and those that encourage new collaborative frameworks between technical specialists and arts and humanities researchers. The primary emphasis is on the use and reuse of digital resources. Proposals for hybrid activities such as workshop/seminar/workgroup combinations are also welcomed, as are proposals for any other activity which falls within the Methods Network remit to support and promote the uses of advanced ICT methods in academic research. Funding of up to £5000 is available for workshops and hybrid activities. Workshops provide training in advanced ICT methods for community members within academic institutions. They engage with issues such as: formal methods in analysis of source data and the creation of technical models; working with multiple technologies; and other matters of vital practical interest to the community. Funding of up to £2000 is available for seminars. These may concentrate on highly-defined topics of interest and also problem areas within the community or may have a more general focus. For information on eligibility and how to apply for funding see the Methods Network website (www.methodsnetwork.ac.uk). Please be aware that all applicants are expected to submit fully-formed proposals with full programme, budget and projected outcome details and with particular emphasis on the research significance of the proposed activity. Applications that fail to provide all required details will not be considered for funding. For further information about submitting a proposal contact Hazel Gardiner ([log in to unmask]). Forthcoming Methods Network Funded Activities We welcome applications from individuals who would like to attend Methods Network workshops and seminars, but must emphasise that registration is essential for these activities.
