HERA CinBA Follow On Study

在hera资助的主要国际项目“欧洲青铜器时代中晚期的创意和工艺生产”（CinBA） （www.cinba.net）成功完成一年后，AHRC将重新审视我们的合作伙伴和合作者，对项目的有效性、规模（国内和国际）、持久性和影响力进行评估。CinBA探索了青铜器时代物品在时间和空间上的创造力；在青铜器时代，纺织品、金属和陶瓷的发展，包括颜色、图案、纹理和装饰，在今天看来是理所当然的。与非学术合作伙伴，手工艺委员会和Sagnlandet Lejre密切合作，它进一步研究了这些物品可能产生的潜在影响，作为灵感来源和刺激不同群体的当代创造力的手段，包括在一系列职业阶段的当代设计师/制造商，以及公众。在整个CinBA，知识交流已经嵌入到研究过程中。然而，很明显，该项目仍在继续产生影响。除了预测的结果，在CinBA期间和之后，一系列额外的不可预见的结果和反应也有机地出现了。本项目将探讨CinBA提供的跨学科机会对手工艺和文物行业的长期影响，以及它们如何为这些行业增加价值。反思CinBA的成效和最佳实践，将有助于为未来与这些行业的知识交流活动设定有用的方向。

One year after the successful completion of the major international HERA-funded project Creativity and Craft Production in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe (CinBA) (www.cinba.net), this AHRC grant will revisit our partners and collaborators to carry out an assessment of impact in terms of the project's effectiveness, scale (national and international), persistence, and leverage. CinBA explored the creativity that underpinned Bronze Age objects over time and space; the Bronze Age saw developments taken for granted today in textiles, metal and ceramics, including colour, pattern, texture and decoration. Working closely with non-academic partners, The Crafts Council and Sagnlandet Lejre, it has further investigated the potential impact these objects may have as a source of inspiration and means of stimulating contemporary creativity for different groups, including contemporary designers / makers at a range of career stages, and the public. Throughout CinBA, knowledge exchange has been embedded within the research journey. It is, however, clear that the project has continued to have reverberations. In addition to predicted outcomes, a range of additional unforeseen outcomes and responses also emerged organically during and after CinBA. This project will explore what the longer-term impact of inter-disciplinary opportunities provided by CinBA have been for the crafts and heritage sectors and how they add value to these. A reflection on CinBA effectiveness and best practice will help to set useful directions for future knowledge exchange activities with these sectors.
