Director's Impact Fellowship

Fellowship outline

Following on from the Landscape and Environment Programme's aim to establish a distinctive and engaging arts and humanities research perspective on landscape and environment, the Impact Fellowship is involved in further activities to develop the dissemination of the research to both public and academic audiences. By linking with a wide range of partners that connect with the public, the Fellowship has the resources and expertise to enable us to generate a public impact strategy that will be beneficial to society as a whole.
