Our research is mainly organized in third party financed projects, often based on interdisciplinary teamwork and aims at comparative analysis. Beyond this we offer our expertise and know-how in particular to practitioners working at the crossroad of science, technology and society. • Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology and Society (IAS-STS) http://www.ifz.tugraz.at/ias/IAS-STS/The-Institute IAS-STS is, broadly speaking, an Institute for the enhancement of Science and Technology Studies. The IAS-STS was found to give around a dozen international researchers each year - for up to nine months - the opportunity to explore the issues published in our annually changing fellowship programme. Within the frame of this fellowship programme the IAS-STS promotes the interdisciplinary investigation of the links and interaction between science, technology and society as well as research on the development and implementation of socially and environmentally sound, sustainable technologies.

  • Glasgow and Strathclyde Scottish Ancient Egyptian Collections Review East Ayrshire Leisure
    Detail of a carved relief from the temple of Bastet at Tell Basta, McLean Museum & Art Gallery, Greenock, Inverclyde Council © Museums Galleries Scotland Ancient Egyptian Collections in Scottish Museums Glasgow and Strathclyde Scottish Ancient Egyptian Collections Review East Ayrshire Leisure Contact Claire Gilmour [email protected] Bruce Morgan [email protected] Location of Collections In storage Primary contact location: The Dick Institute Elmbank Avenue Kilmarnock KA1 3BT Size of collections >45 objects Published Information Online collections: Selection available at www.futuremuseum.co.uk Online exhibition: The Journey Beyond, http://www.futuremuseum.co.uk/collections/features/online-exhibitions/the-journey- beyond.aspx Collection Highlights • Islamic foot rasp in the shape of a crocodile, previously labelled as a ‘lizard coffin’ (c. AD 1800–1900). • Two artworks by David Young Cameron (1865 –1945), a watercolour depicting the temple at Luxor and an etching showing the fort at the Moqattam Hills, Cairo. Collection Overview The collection cared for by East Ayrshire Leisure was initially formed in Kilmarnock as part of the Dick Institute, which opened in 1901 following the provision of funding by Kilmarnock- born industrialist James Dick (1823–1902). Part of the collection was formed in the following years. In 1909 a fire swept through the museum, damaging some objects and destroying others, while many of those that survived became disassociated from their object histories. The museum re-opened in 1911. The collection is built up primarily of material collected by visitors and tourists to Egypt, including amulets and metal figurines, faience shabtis and small Coptic objects. The collection also includes a number of modern shabtis and scarabs.

  • Designated Outstanding Collections Contents
    Designated Outstanding collections Contents 3 Introduction 4 East Midlands 6 East 10 London 20 North East 22 North West 27 South East 31 South West 37 West Midlands 43 Yorkshire Introduction The Designation Scheme is a mark of distinction, identifying and celebrating pre-eminent collections of national and international importance in non-national institutions. The Scheme was established in 1997 by the Museums and Galleries Commission (MGC) in collaboration with the then Department of National Heritage as a result of a commitment in the 1996 Government policy document, Treasures in Trust. In 2005 Designation was extended to include libraries and archives. The Scheme is now administered by Arts Council England, aiming to raise standards and promote best practice across the sector. There are currently 140 Designated collections held in organisations across the whole of England. The following descriptions of the outstanding collections recognised by the Designation Scheme demonstrate the immense richness and variety of the collections held in England’s museums, libraries and archives. These world class collections are a lasting source of inspiration and enjoyment for generations of users and Designation exists to promote and increase access to them for all. Cover images 1. Crown.
