Research Nodes and Projects

Projects in the British Enlightenment Research Network are conducted under a series of generic research nodes (listed below).

Projects will foster collaborative research by linking Australian researchers with international scholars. These team-based projects aim to build scale and scope with a view to developing innovative and significant research with international recognition.

Each project will be co-ordinated by a Project Leader or Leaders.

If you would like to propose a project, please complete the Project Proposal Form and return to the Network Convenor.
