The British Academy has just announced the successful applicants to its new Cities & Infrastructure research funding programme, and we are pleased to announce that one of these projects is being led from the University of Glasgow with Professor Michael Osborne, Director of PASCAL, as the Principal Investigator, and Dr Muir Houston, Dr Lavinia Hirsu, Dr Kasia Borokowska and Dr Neil Burnside all as co-investigators.

We are pleased to report that on August 24, longstanding PASCAL Associate Henrik Zipzane was elected President of the Association of European Open Air Museums (AEOM). The AEOM is related as an independent section of ICOM and associated member in Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO).
