The Lincolnshire Cultural Heritage Research Hub

主教格罗斯泰斯特大学（BGU）成立于1862年，是一所位于历史悠久的林肯市中心的小型大学。近年来，在艺术、人文和社会科学系形成了一个专门的文化创意研究和知识交流集群。林肯郡文化遗产研究（LCHR）中心的创建为BGU的研究人员提供了新的令人兴奋的机会，以加强和扩大他们所从事的世界级研究的范围，这是建立在大学提交给REF2021历史评估单元的表现之上的：其中12%的整体质量概况被评为“世界领先”，20%的产出被评为4*。REF2021提交的文件还包括一个名为“历史中世纪定居点景观：社区历史和考古学，以及文化遗产保护”的影响案例研究（ICS）。LCHR中心的创建将使BGU能够在从ICS中学到的最佳实践的基础上建立，以实现更广泛的社会影响并履行其公民责任。此外，LCHR中心的设施和资源对林肯郡和更广泛地区的社区团体开放。以前超出大多数地方团体经济能力的设备现在很容易获得，使这些组织能够领导他们自己的研究项目。该地区的创意和文化部门也可以访问LCHR中心及其设备。中小企业（SMEs）和自由职业者现在不仅有资源来提高竞争力，而且还可以扩大他们的研究能力，这将加强该部门并鼓励经济增长。

Established in 1862, Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) is a small university located in the heart of historic Lincoln. Over recent years, a specialist creative and cultural research and knowledge exchange cluster has formed in the university's Department of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The creation of the Lincolnshire Cultural Heritage Research (LCHR) Hub provides BGU's researchers new exciting opportunities to enhance, and broaden the range of world-class research they undertake, which builds on the performance of the university's submission to the History Unit of Assessment for REF2021: of which 12% of overall quality profile was judged to be 'world leading' and 20% of outputs were rated 4*. The REF2021 submission also included an Impact Case Study (ICS) entitled 'Historic medieval settlement landscapes: community history and archaeology, and cultural heritage preservation'. Creation of the LCHR Hub will allow BGU to build on the best practice learnt from this ICS to achieve wider societal impact and meet their civic responsibilities. In addition, access to the facilities and resources of the LCHR Hub is open to community groups across Lincolnshire and the wider region. Equipment that was previously beyond the financial means of most local groups is now readily available, allowing these organisations to lead on their own research projects. The LCHR Hub and its equipment is also accessible by the region's creative and cultural sector. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and freelancers now have the resources to not only be more competitive, but also expand their research capabilities, which will strengthen the sector and encourage economic growth.
