Visiting Scholars

The Joint Visiting Scholarships Scheme offered 2-month research and training placements in the UK for Iraqi cultural heritage experts. It aimed to enhance the capacity of Iraqi scholars to engage in the sustainable development of cultural heritage. The scheme enabled Iraqi academics, cultural heritage professionals, NGO workers, and research students to visit the UK for 1-2 months for training and research, or to take up an online placement.
