The research strategy of CeRCH is configured around several core topics, including:
Our research is inexorably linked with the other two objectives of CeRCH - graduate teaching, and the provision of services to users at King's College London and elsewhere. Our programme of applied research informs the development of services we provide, and also forms the core of our teaching programme.
Our research builds on the expertise of our staff, and the legacy of the Arts and Humanities Data Service and the AHRC ICT Methods Network. It has also developed through a number of projects that are based at CeRCH, are often conducted in partnership with other departments at King's College London, or with other centres of expertise in the UK and internationally. Our research is disseminated via publications and conference presentations.
