Now in its sixth event, it will once again provide an opportunity for early career and postgraduate researchers to mix with academic and heritage professionals, allowing a collaborative dialogue between the worlds of academia and heritage.
This year’s conference will be held at the Royal Armouries, Leeds, in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University.
Tickets: £20
Concessionary rate: £12
Ticket cost includes lunch and refreshments.
The concessionary rate is available for early career researchers (within five years of doctoral award, not counting career breaks) and those in full-time education or part-time education while otherwise unwaged.
