Hunterian Associates Programme
Following the success of its first two years, The Hunterian Associates Programme was shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Award in Outstanding Support for Early Career Researchers. The range of projects has continued to grow, as has the reach across diverse disciplines at the University. HAP 2017 -19 saw the completion of 9 projects (see navigation bar). All projects are listed alpahabetically at Hunterian Associates projects A-Z.
University of Glasgow Researchers from any discipline could find relevant materials in the collections of The Hunterian or Archives and Special Collections in the Library. HAP 2020 will be opening for applications soon. Anyone wishing to discuss the application process or connecting their research in any way with The Hunterian, can do so by contacting Ruth Fletcher. Searching our collections online is a good way to start your exploration
About the Programme
Recognised as a Collection of National Significance to Scotland, The Hunterian provides an inventive platform for postgraduate researchers to share their expert knowledge and to develop their skills through meaningful public engagement and knowledge exchange activities.
By proposing creative ways to present their ideas to the wider public, Hunterian Associates are able to broaden their perspectives on their own research, while also bringing the collections to new audiences. Associate projects might last from 12 - 18 months depending on the planned activities and any web-based resources will remain on the Hunterian's web pages beyond the life of the initial project.
Projects can take the form of gallery talks and tours, podcasts focusing on particular artefacts, web-based exhibitions, interpretive performance, or any other form that engages with the public effectively.
