In October 2022, the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport opened bids for funding in order to develop a robust and holistic approach for capturing and articulating the value of culture and heritage.
Research teams were invited to bid across 7 distinct strands, each comprising a distinct research question:
- Strand A – Developing a taxonomy of cultural and heritage capital services (associated stocks and flows)
- Strand B – Developing the link between methodologies that can measure why people value culture and heritage and economic techniques that can monetise value
- Strand C – Defining and incorporating non-use values into social cost benefit analysis and cultural and heritage capital accounting
- Strand D – Combining heritage science and economic valuation to articulate better the impact of care and sustainable usage of heritage assets
- Strand E – Overlaps between natural capital and culture and heritage capital
- Strand F – Triangulation of values using different valuation methods, research testing biases and ways to minimise them
- Strand G – Valuation of digital assets
The following research projects cover all of the strands between them, and individually address at least one of the aforementioned strands.
