Independent researchers shape culture, knowledge, and society in countless ways—but too often without recognition or support. The NCACE Independent Researchers Network (IRN) hopes to change that.
The IRN is open to anyone pursuing research outside traditional structures, including:
- Artists developing new creative knowledge.
- Academics working independently or between contracts.
- Community organisers and citizen researchers driving social change.
- Cultural workers and practitioners bridging sectors and disciplines.
At this launch event, you’ll:
- Connect with peers across arts, academia, culture, and community research.
- Help shape a new national network designed to recognise and support independent researchers in all their diversity.
- Receive information on the Pilot NCACE Associate Scheme
Speakers include:
- Yasmin Khan, Director, Individual Practitioners and London (Visuals Arts and Museums) Arts Council England
With further contributors TBA
