The AHRC funded Heritage Network http://www.heritagenetwork.dmu.ac.uk/  provides a forum and support for both academics, community partners working on Connected Communities and Digital Transformation Heritage Projects. It is also a great forum for museums and heritage organisations.

Our last symposium held in Lincoln in 2016 was a great success with over 60 delegates sharing the results and experiences of their AHRC, HLF and museum funded projects. Details of the last event can be found at http://www.heritagenetwork.dmu.ac.uk/symposium

The symposium is aimed at university researchers, community groups, creative professionals as well as cultural organisations and museums  focussing on Heritage. The symposium will be a great opportunity to share outcomes and discuss experiences from a wide variety of Heritage related research projects.
