Mission
Statement
The Humanities Research Centre was established in June 1995 and replaced the European Humanities Research Centre. The proposal to establish the Centre confirmed the Faculty’s commitment to enhance both the strategic planning and the funding of its research; to raise the national and international profile of the humanities at Warwick, and to encourage research at all levels among faculty – from the youngest to the most senior members. It also sought to address the need for a Faculty-wide body to co-ordinate the promotion and development of research in the arts.
The aims and objectives of the Centre are to:
> provide an over-arching structure for research activities in the Faculty of Arts;
> help develop strategic thinking on research in the Arts at Warwick;
> encourage and support the Faculty’s research excellence;
> raise the public profile of Arts research at Warwick within the wider scholarly community and beyond;
> promote research activities among all staff in the Faculty, with due regard to their particular needs;
> help consolidate existing research activities in the Arts;
> initiate new research activities and groupings;
> encourage and support interdisciplinary research within the Faculty and between Faculties;
> advise on and encourage the pursuit of outside funding for Arts research
