Proposals sought for UKNC Research & Innovation Consultant

The UK National Commission for UNESCO (UKNC) is inviting proposals from consultants with expertise in research and coordinating cross-disciplinary groups to become our Research & Innovation Consultant. The work of the Consultant will support a broader understanding of the growing role and positioning of UNESCO sites as pioneers for localising and testing innovative participatory approaches for addressing global sustainable development challenges, both in the UK and internationally. 

The appointed Consultant will:

b) develop and deliver a research study that contextualises the learning, approaches, and emerging practice of the DCMS-UKNC led Climate Change and UNESCO Heritage project and complementary initiatives

c) formulate a suggested research agenda that will help to underpin future research activities.

We welcome submissions for this opportunity from a range of profiles such as independent researchers or partnerships, practitioners, and academics.
