Research at The Khalili Research Centre
Since opening in 2005, the Khalili Research Centre has been involved in several major international research projects backed by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the Wellcome Trust, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the John Fell Fund and, most recently, the European Research Council. Our projects have ranged from smaller scoping exercises, through to large five year multi-disciplinary projects involving international partnerships. In most cases, the projects have focussed on printed and digital outputs, the details of which can be found in the relevant project pages below.
