This year’s cohort of Virtual Visiting International Fellows introduced by Professor Soumyen Bandyopadhyay will be held across two sessions (10am- 12pm and 2:30- 4:15 pm - UK time) Liverpool Virtual Visiting Fellowship Programme, established in 2021, provides an opportunity for selected candidates to gain collaborative research experience in an international research environment with the aim of publishing a specific piece of research in an international journal or equivalent venue and fostering long-term collaboration. These international, virtual fellowships are open to researchers at partner universities specialising in heritage.
Our Fellows have been working with us for some months now, and today we have the privilege of hearing them present the exciting results of their VVF research. In order to accommodate several time zones, the event will take place across two sessions. You are invited to attend both sessions.
