Crisis – Perspectives from the Humanities: kick-off conference for the 10 funded projects

 

The Crisis – Perspectives from the Humanities call supports humanities-led, transnational research that will result in new academic insights on crises past and present.

The 10 projects funded under this call will meet for a kick-off conference to be held on 24-25 November 2025 in Nottingham, UK. This will be an opportunity to build relationships and exchange ideas and insights following the projects’ first months of research activities.

The Knowledge Exchange for Slow Hope (KESH) team will facilitate the event, including room booking and travel reimbursement for participating projects. For more information, please contact Knowledge Exchange Facilitator Prof Jenny Wüstenberg – [email protected]
