The AHRC funded Heritage Network http://www.heritagenetwork.dmu.ac.uk/ provides a forum and support for both academics, community partners working on Connected Communities and Digital Transformation Heritage Projects. It is also a great forum for museums and heritage organisations.

The symposium is aimed at university researchers, community groups, creative professionals as well as cultural organisations and museums focussing on Heritage.
