These annual reports showcase the wide range of research activity we support, from three-month PhD placements, to multi-year collaborative projects.

This edition has a particular focus on international research, with features including the True Echoes project, British Library Chevening Fellows, and the International Dunhuang Project.

We also look at the five-year collaborative project Living with Machines, and include an interview with British Sociological Association Fellow Emma Abotsi.

As in previous editions, you will also find news of our ongoing programmes like Doctoral Open Days, doctoral research, and how we support acquisitions and exhibitions.
