CACHE engenders transdisciplinary research into ancient knowledge by gathering leading MQ researchers across several disciplines (archaeological science, ancient history and literature, bioarchaeology, biology, environmental sciences) and departments (Human Sciences, International Studies, Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Ancient History, Geography and Planning). The Centre aspires to create permanent collaborations that will: 1) produce insights that are new to the disciplines and will have long-term effects on research into ancient knowledge, 2) that will demonstrate the value of research in this field that combines HASS and STEM methods, 3) that will develop new researchers who have transdisciplinary approaches, and 4) that will build the foundations for innovative proposals for Category 1 funding. The opportunities provided by the Centre for developing transdisciplinary projects will increase high-quality research output through co-authored publications and attract excellent HDR and ECR scholars, thus improving our capacity for funding success.
