AHRC Impact Acceleration Account

The 亚洲情色 has been awarded an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) grant of 拢600,000 over four years (April 2022 - March 2026), to accelerate the impact of arts and humanities research.

The programme enables researchers across the University (conducting research in the Arts and Humanities remit) to help bring about societal, economic, environmental and other impacts beyond academia. It offers advisory and financial support for individual impactful projects, and facilitates collaborations between researchers and external partners in a wide range and scale of organisations, to work on real-world changes.

The funding will be used to explore and develop new opportunities and innovative avenues to utilise arts and humanities research, with the aim of achieving impactful outcomes, particularly across our core strands:

  • Creative Economy
  • Cultural Heritage
  • Policy
  • Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
  • AI & Digital Transformation
  • Place-making & Community

Project funding calls 

Due to high demand and limited remaining funds, the AHRC IAA seed-funding calls are now closed (final round closed 25 October 2024).
