The Cluster will be supported by a Stakeholders Forum, comprising representatives of key partners and stakeholders external to the University, coming from local heritage entities. This Forum has a consultative role and can also lead to fostering partnerships and collaboration with external entities, provision of feedback to the cluster, promotion of the research cluster’s work to a wider audience, and offer an external perspective on performance, outcomes and future directions of the Pillars.
