CAIN Associate Programme
CAIN (cain.ulster.ac.uk) is an on-line Archive of resources related to the Northern Ireland conflict, peace process, and politics in the region. CAIN is part of the ARK (www.ark.ac.uk) research centre within Ulster University and Queen's University Belfast. CAIN is known and used internationally by academics, journalists, policy makers, students, and the general public. In recognition of this, CAIN is initiating an Associate Programme as an important new strand of its activities (beginning in 2021). The aim of this is to showcase how resources such as CAIN play an role in academic research and in the work of policy makers and practitioners. In more normal times this would allow us to invite relevant experts to UU or QUB for a two-week visiting fellowship. However, in the current circumstances we would like to proceed by inviting Associates to work with us in an on-line capacity. We anticipate that CAIN Associates will undertake activities, including an on-line discussion or seminar, plus a short research update or briefing paper or ARK Feature piece (see, ARK Publications for examples). However, we are happy to discuss this with applicants and get their thoughts on what might be most appropriate from their perspective. People with relevant experience, who wish to be considered as CAIN Associate, are invited to contact Dr Brendan Lynn (CAIN) by email: b.lynn@ulster.ac.uk The scheduled programme for 2021 is: April 2021
June 2021
October 2021
January 2022
