About the Institute

The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Research Institute for Collections is a virtual centre for scholarship, pedagogy and impact based around ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s exceptional range of collections.

The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Research Institute for Collections (RIC) provides a unified research focus for ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº collection specialists to work in collaboration with academics, building on ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s long tradition of ‘disruptive thinking’ to understand the human condition and the natural world. The work of RIC signals the innovative development of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº as a prominent centre for humanities and science research using collections. It will create sustainable inter-disciplinary and thematic research opportunities and teaching engagement across ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº collections. It aims to build and enhance collaborations with other universities and museums and open new avenues for research funding by responding to funders recognition of the role of libraries and museums as partners in, and leaders of, academic and scholarly research.
