Advisory Board

The Arts and Humanities Research Council’s (AHRC) Advisory Board provides AHRC expert support and advice.

The board’s advice reflects the arts and humanities research communities’ perspectives on the needs and challenges facing arts and humanities research, innovation and practice.

The board supports the development of strategic partnerships that facilitate opportunities for the delivery of AHRC’s vision and its role in the wider context of UK Research and Innovation.

The board is chaired by a member of the AHRC Council, and its membership is made up of academics and representatives from non-higher education institution research communities.
