The AHRC runs a placement scheme which allows doctoral and early career researchers who are funded by the AHRC to spend a significant amount of time in a number of overseas research venues to consult primary material related to their thesis.
This is an open event for WRoCAH, Midlands4Cities and Northern Bridge doctoral researchers.
If your research would benefit from an extended research trip to any of the following locations, then this scheme might be of interest to you:
