Aims & Objectives • AHRC Skills Development Award 2011 • A collaboration between the Institute of Cultural Practices (ICP), artsmethods@manchester, the University of Salford and NW Cultural Partners • A development package which aims to enable ECRs to identify, understand and “translate” the benefits of their research in real-life contexts of the heritage and cultural sectors

  3. Three Pathways • Research-to-public – the public impact of ECRs’ research and its “translation” into audience-orientated outputs e.g. events, conferences and performances • Research-to-profession – to gain experience of the range and requirements of entry routes into heritage professions • Research-to-Business – build on their research ideas and outcomes to develop business, freelancing and consultancy profiles
