Welcome to the AHRC Science in Culture Theme Website
Science in Culture is one of four themes identified by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as a focus for research funding.
The AHRC Themes are identified as emerging areas of interest to arts and humanities researchers and are likely to shape or change aspects of multiple research fields in future years.
The Science in Culture Theme aims to encourage mutual exchange between researchers working across the Sciences and the Arts and Humanities.
Science in Culture will foster interdisciplinary working between researchers in the sciences and the arts and humanities in order to pursue topics that cannot be successfully addressed by either side alone.
