With the AHRC’s current Strategic Plan (2007 – 2012) expiring at the end of the year, the AHRC is in the process of drafting its vision for the arts and humanities and the AHRC’s role in the funding landscape for a new Strategic Plan. The plan will chart the course for future funding of arts and humanities research over the next five years and the AHRC is keen to ensure that the arts and humanities community is able to feed in comments before the plan is launched in early 2013.

A draft Strategic Plan, drawn up in consultation with the AHRC’s Council and Advisory Board, will be made available for comment between the week commencing 8th October and the week commencing 5th November. Early notice is being given to ensure that all who wish to respond to the draft plan are able to do so.

Comments received by the deadline will be considered by members of the AHRC’s Executive, Council and Advisory Board, during the revision and refinement stage in November.

Further information on the comment process will be made available in due course.
