Applications are invited from PhD students in Old Norse-Icelandic and Viking Studies to participate in this skills development project running in 2013-14. The programme brings together graduate students and full-time researchers from across the UK and Ireland to explore the translation of Norse and Viking cultures into the modern day. Programme participants will work with local partners in five communities with Norse heritage: the Isle of Lewis, Cleveland, the Isle of Man, Dublin and Munster (Cork and Waterford). The programme also draws on the work of the British Museum and participants will visit the Museum’s ‘Vikings: Life and Legend‘ exhibition as part of their engagement with local communities.
Full details are available from the project blog. The deadline for applications is 31 October 2013.
