The first issue of the new IHBC Research for Practice Digest has been circulated to key networks, but anyone can sign up to access issues old and new HERE.
…a service designed to allow built conservation and heritage researchers to keep up to date with relevant research…
Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Following on from our CPD Circular (see a sample HERE and its background HERE), as well as an early trial issue on our NewsBlog service, we think we can help connect research and conservation practice with our Research for Practice Digest, which has been circulated recently.’
Michael Netter, IHBC Professional Services Officer and RfP lead, said: ‘We’re excited to release our Research for Practice Digest, a service designed to allow built conservation and heritage researchers to keep up to date with relevant research, publications, and funding streams.
‘Our hope is to enable a shared connection between researchers and practitioners that helps researchers identify pressing research needs from the field, as well as distil their research into useful practical guidance.’
‘For example, some research outcomes will help us develop accessible and free practice-focussed Guidance Notes, which are posted on our Toolbox for anyone to use.’
‘Suggestions or comments are welcome as we experiment with the service to ensure it meets the needs and expectations of our members. Just email me at services@ihbc.org.uk.’
