Two UK research councils have teamed up with a group of US organisations to collaborate on an assessment of the role of digital scholarship in changing museums and other cultural institutions.
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) announced on 18 September that it was working with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council in the project aimed at “reimagining the future of the world’s leading cultural institutions”.
