AHRC Leadership Fellowship for the Connected Communities Programme, stage two (renewal)

互联社区计划是艺术与人文研究委员会领导的资助计划，旨在扩大学术研究人员与大学以外的合作伙伴组织之间的对话和合作。在过去的五年里，该方案资助了300多个项目，与500多个社区伙伴和组织合作。合作伙伴可以是博物馆或文化组织，自由艺术家，志愿者或倡导团体-该计划寻求明确的开放。互联社区的目标是跨学科（因此，虽然由澳大利亚人权委员会领导，其获奖者也由其他研究理事会，如经济和社会研究理事会资助），同时有一个核心的艺术和人文存在。该计划的学术领导是由两名领导研究员，每个从2012年任命三年。本补助金申请的目的是更新教授乔治麦凯的领导奖学金为进一步的三年，2015-2018。它包括一名管理人员，两名博士后研究人员，主要活动包括与学术界和社区合作伙伴就其资助的项目开展合作，与AHRC和其他资助机构联络，与AHRC其他主题的领导研究员合作开展一系列新的活动和事件（关心未来，数字化转型，翻译文化，文化科学），以及从事与该方案有关的个人研究工作。

The Connected Communities Programme is an Art and Humanities Research Council-led funding initiative that has sought to extend dialogue and collaboration between academic researchers and partner organisations outside universities. Over the past five years the programme has funded over 300 projects working with well over 500 community partners and organisations. A partner could be a museum or a cultural organisation, a freelance artist, a voluntary or advocacy group—the programme seeks to be definitionally open. Connected Communities aims to be both interdisciplinary (hence the fact that although led by AHRC, its award holders are also funded by other research councils such as Economic and Social Research Council), and at the same time to have a core arts and humanities presence. The academic leadership of the programme is given by two Leadership Fellows, each appointed for three years from 2012. The purpose of this grant application is to renew the Leadership Fellowship of Prof George McKay for a further three years, 2015-2018. It includes an administrator, two postdoctoral researchers, and key activities include working with academics and community partners on their funded projects, liaising with the AHRC and other funding bodies, a new set of activities and events collaborating with the Leadership Fellows for other AHRC themes (Care for the Future, Digital Transformations, Translating Cultures, and Science in Culture), as well as undertaking personal research work related to the programme.
