Digital Training School on Research and Career Pathways in Textile Heritage
DIGITAL TRAINING SCHOOL
ON RESEARCH AND CAREER PATHWAYS IN TEXTILE HERITAGE: FINDING RELEVANCE & APPLYING FOR FUNDING
29th – 30th of July 2024
Organization:
COST Action EuroWeb – Europe through Textiles (CA19131)
Organizing Committee:
Francisco B. Gomes (University of Lisbon, PT),
Agata Ulanowska (University of Warsaw, PL),
Marie-Louise Nosch (University of Copenhagen – Centre for Textile Research, DK)
& Riina Rammo (University of Tartu, EE)
***
Nowadays, work on Textile Heritage takes place in an increasingly competitive research ecosystem. In a context where resources are often limited, and even insufficient, researchers are increasingly called upon to justify the relevance of their research, not just for their specific scientific field, but also in regard to broad societal challenges.
This Training School aims to offer Early Career scholars and innovators some insights on how to raise the profile of their research by reflecting on how it can connect with current concerns shared by a larger audience.
In particular, it will cover the potential implications for Textile Heritage research of new European policies regarding the sustainability of the textile sector, reflecting on potential synergies with other stakeholders in the economic and political arenas. Other facets of the potential social and political relevance of work in the textile field will also be addressed.
This Training School will also serve as a venue for exchanging experiences regarding the application and management of research projects related to Textile Heritage. A roaster of experts with experience on this topic will share their insights and offer practical advice to future applicants.
Finally, it will also act as the launch of a new EuroWeb mentorship programme, in which experienced mentors will offer the benefit of their experience to Early Career researchers looking to develop their career further by applying for grants or funding for research projects.
