Humanities Summits
Our Humanities Summits bring together colleagues from across the UK to discuss the key challenges and opportunities facing the arts and humanities, and to devise new approaches that will shape the future of our disciplines.
This year, the summits will focus on the theme of collaboration as a response to the pressures facing the sector. How can we work together more effectively? In what ways might we connect our existing infrastructure and link resources together at a regional and national level? And how do we continue to create opportunities to collaborate with other disciplines and sectors?
The Humanities Summits will provide a critical forum to consider these questions, share ideas and look ahead to future strategic priorities.
